If the Democratic Party continues to go

[baldguy]

43. What does it mean when someone can't tell the difference between a noun and an adjective?

The reason the party establishment is the establishment is because they are people who have been involved in the party and have been working for its success for decades. If you think things are going to change in one election cycle, you're dreaming.

That's not to say the party doesn't need new blood - it needs new blood continuously. Unfortunately, what's going to happen is that when Bernie loses his supporters will evaporate, instead of staying and starting work for the next election, and the next, and the next!

The fact is - and what's been proven by Bernie's most ardent supporters here on DU - is that they aren't Democrats. They have no loyalty or connections to the party (which means they'll never have any influence in the direction the party takes), they're more than willing to jump ship in the general election and either vote for a third party candidate or not vote at all (which only allows Republicans to be victorious), and they disdain the very processes and actions which make a party successful & which allow policies to be turned into legislation and get enacted into law. And that's the whole point, isn't it?
