Nearly every Democrat in the House and the Senate who has made an endorsement has endorsed Hillary. Almost no one has endorsed Bernie. There is an excellent reason for that - they don't want the the President, the leader of the Democratic Party, trying to push through proposals which call for raising taxes to pay for programs which that only a segment of the Democratic electorate favor and which the majority of Americans will consider radical. Nancy Pelosi has already spoken for those House members and Senators and made that clear.
No matter how much enthusiasm you guy generate, no matter many idealist proposals you dream up, Bernie supporters don't even make up the majority of Democratic voters and you are but a small segment of the American electorate. You will not get to dictate government policy.
That's reality.
