What I do get about the Bernie crowd is that can't see a win when they get one. Sanders lost the nomination and won the party. Not dissimilar to Barry Goldwater in 1964. Progressive candidates have won in districts routinely since 2018 and he's primed to pick up a lot more in 2020.
But again, people undervalue the house. If the Progressives get on committees, cut deals, and work to get changes to legislation, the country lurches forward in a way we haven't seen since FDR.
In all seriousness, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. You vote for your messiah, and I'll vote for a politician.

Kinda confused... By what mechanism is it that you propose Sanders has changed the party?
And I might very well vote Biden just out of fear of Trump. That's why most people are voting for him. And you somehow see that as a positive.
