Elections are won and lost on getting the vote out. If you give people a reason to get off their asses and out to the polls, they'll act. Right now the Republicans are pissing off a lot of their voters and it is depressing their desire to go to the polls. Give them something to get fired up about and you're going to see them come out in numbers again. Conversely, go too far to the extreme for the Dems and you lose the independents. Bernie doesn't sell with independents, so you are going to encourage them to not vote or go to the other ticket. That's how you lose elections. If Democrat voters are so stupid as to decide to repeat the last Bernie #### show, then they deserve to lose.
Bernie is not viable and his supporters need to bite the bullet and recognize the importance of getting behind the party and defeating Trump. Otherwise, #### them. They are more responsible for what is happening in this country than the Trump supporters. They had the votes that could have prevented him from being in office in the first place, but they acted like petulant children, not voting or voting for Trump instead. We are where we are because of "Bernie" voters and them putting their team first over their own values and interests.
