The same concern was stated by the Republicans before the nomination of Trump. Turns out they were 100% correct. Republicanism is poison to people under the age of 40. Once the baby boomers die out, so does the power of the Republican party.
Democrats must be careful in how they work with Sanders and make sure they recognize they stick together, based on so many shared values. The Democrats won't go the extremes that Sanders is prepared to go, but their values are much more closely aligned than the Republicans and their corporatist masters. If they can maintain that belief as the foundation for moving forward, all will be fine. If they allow for extremes to be the division, then Sanders can do a lot of damage.
