The DNC is between a rock and a hard place.
If Sanders wins the nomination, many Democrats will not support his socialism, but the party will be tainted as the socialist party for a generation (not everyone sees them that way)
If Sanders loses the nomination (fairly or no), his supporters will burn the DNC down, stay home and start/join a third party, leaving the DNC in shambles for a generation.
I do not see a good outcome for the Democratic Party.
“the party will be tainted as the socialist party for a generation”
Yes, which would be rare bit of honesty on the political landscape. Bernie would have to rely heavily on Left-wing extremists like The Squad to rally the feminists, blacks and hispanics. AOC would become the face of the party to an even greater extent than she already is. Bernie’s appeal in college towns doesn’t really translate across the board. I think he would run closer against President Trump than we would like to believe, but still lose by a fairly comfortable margin. Middle America is dwindling, but it’s not quite gone yet.
I’m doing my part. Sent Bernie well over $2.
To me, the Democrat Party in shambles is a good outcome.
If Sanders loses the nomination, his supporters won’t just “bern” down the DNC, I predict they will “bern” down Milwaukee.
