I love Bernie Sanders but he is 100 percent NOT electable.

90. in order to elect Bernie we need to be smart and we need to be brave.

We need to be smart enough to see that he best represents the movement that needs to come to power to address urgent issues before it is actually too late.

We need to be brave enough to go all in, to fight as hard as we can for the outcome we know is right without fear of failure. We have to be brave enough not to abandon what may look like the harder fight, because what we would give up if we defect cannot be given up.

So again, it's not about Bernie, it's about us. Are enough of us smart and brave?

Don't try to answer that question, because it's impossible to know. The character of the American populace is reflected in a funhouse mirror.

Don't hedge. Just do your part, and while you do it, know that perception creates reality...so contribute to the perceptions that you want to see actualized.

Do you want Bernie to be unelectable? If you do, good post; your analysis helps create that. If you don't, then fight like you've never been disappointed.
