Those who advocate for it won't even vote unless everything is to their liking. There will be no revolution.

I just looked up the number of millennials: 74-78 million people.
If only 25% of them have been fired up for Bernie =18 million,
who are willing to become dems to elect Bernie. I f they don't
vote according to your post, the party will be losing a large
part of the population.
I suppose though that the dems, who are part of the
establishment, don't care.
