If Bernie loses the nomination, as expected, do the rest of the Democratic Party supporters feel justified in telling the progressives to DROP DEAD?
Does that make his supporters illegitimate and most importantly, how does it make his positions on the issues illegitimate?
Progressive positions are extremely relevant to the Democratic platform. If anything they are, like Bernie, just a little ahead of the times. There is a lot of political calculation at play here, Progressives want to jump in with both feet, make waves, and upset the apple cart. Liberals feel that things will work more smoothly if changes are made incrementally. Ultimately the goals are the same.
