I'm really worried. So worried my stomach is in knots [View all]

Bernie has the support to win the nomination but only because support is so divided among many candidates. He's not a strong favorite for democrats broadly. I'm from Traverse City MI. I don't know anyone who supports Bernie. I'm afraid voter turnout will be low if it's Bernie vs Trump. What I personally worry about most is Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Trump nominating more RW judges. I try to convince my peers and family to vote blue no matter who but it's looking like a hard sell. People tell me things like, "AOC says we don't belong in her party," she only talked about unity when it looked like Sanders could win." Or, "I don't think they want their revolution tainted with corporate neoliberal shills so if he is the nominee I'm sitting it out." That's what I hear from democrats my age, 33. What I hear from my older relatives is that he is a communist. When I try to explain democratic socialism to them, they come at me with, " Bernie only recently started calling it that. "He has a long history of supporting straight up communism." I see my older relatives sharing a youtube video of Bernie called. "Why Bernie Sanders' Communist Misadventures Still Matter." It's hard to convince them otherwise. With Bernie's campaign having a history of not supporting the party's nominee... It's going to be hard for them to sell Bernie to people who would otherwise vote blue no matter who. Make no mistake. I will vote and work for Bernie should he be the nominee, I want Trump out so bad. Here in Michigan, I don't see many others jumping to do the same. Heck! Trump's approval is going up! I absolutely know Bernie supporters do not see it this way but, I think they have blinders on. They love him so much they can't see anyone else not loving him. Bernie has strong support to be sure but not broadly among the most. HELP. What do we do?
