(13,840 posts)That the kind of coalition which would have to form to get Bernie into the Oval office in the first place would counterbalance the dissatisfaction you're talking about.
The dissatisfaction faction is going to howl no matter what.
To them real life, compromise, deal making - these are all signs of impure thought and weak belief.
I hate the Tea Baggers not only because I believe that they are wrong on policy, but also because they demonize their opponents and consider compromise betrayal. That isn't the attitude that you need to sustain Democracy - That is the thinking of Autocracy/Authoritarianism
The Right wing doesn't have a monopoly on that type of thinking, unfortunately.
Of course If Bernie doesn't win the howling, rending of clothes and gnashing of teeth would be deafening.
I pity my poor puppy when I even contemplate the volume of the dog whistles that would be in use.
Peace
