27. We need to defeat the Republicans. Without the senate and presidency

there will be no new vision. So gaining the power to fix problems and create advances at the same time must come first.

In their collective wisdom, our electorates often choose to "balance" power, such as giving Obama a rabidly hostile Republicans in both houses of congress to block everything he wanted to do. And Obama was a moderate progressive liberal with views that appealed to a good majority.

Sanders is extremely unlikely to become president because he's not; but if he did, the electorate would virtually certainly choose to keep him from going too far by reelecting McConnell and company, and adding to them. That he won't be president is still a plus, though. Unlike candidates who are out of work when they drop out, Sanders will continue to serve in the senate and can lead his colleagues toward a new vision from the seat of great power.
