The fears you cite are invalid.

Bernie has nothing to lose. He is the head of a movement that is greater than the Third Way; a coalition of progressives and independents. The political landscape has changed. HRC may prevail through this rigged election, but she will be the last Third Way to gain the WH, and will likely be impeached within weeks.

You are simply on the wrong side of history. The old rules are failing to control the surge.
