I share some of the misgivings of Bernie being popular enough to win the White House, had them in 2016 and will have them in 2020. That said he is the real deal, I lived in Vermont for 25 years and met Bernie several times and he has not strayed a inch from his message that we could have a better and more just society. I think he would be savaged by the right wing propaganda machine in a general election campaign and while he is up for it he does not deserve such treatment. Sometimes it's more important to keep an idea alive and uncompromised while the country is trying to find its way to it.

The Democratic Party needs to come back to its core values and following Bernie's ideas is a great place to start.
