What do people expect those of us who support Bernie's agenda to do?

139. To answer the question in the OP ...

I expect those who support the strong progressive agenda of Bernie Sanders to do everything they can to get that agenda implemented.

None of which can be accomplished if Democrats don't win the White House and take back the Senate.

In a sane world, Putin's Puppet and Moscow Mitch would stand no chance of winning, but we are in an existential battle for the heart and soul of America and the future of our planet.

What I expect from everyone who votes in this Democratic primary is a sober objective assessment of every candidate in terms of winning the general election and carrying down ticket races.

I confess I do not know which candidate is most likely to do that. I voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary and give him credit for making the progressive agenda which I support much more mainstream in the Democratic Party.

However, I now have grave concerns about Bernie's chances of winning the general election -- as do many expert politicos who very much want Trump defeated. Vlad Putin wants another four years of his tool in the White House, and it is telling that he wants Trump matched up against Sanders.

This election will be won by GOTV on the left and winning swing voters in the key battleground states. Bernie might be good at the former, but I fear he will be a disaster with the latter.

A well funded all-out campaign of fearmongering against "socialism" and Bernie's past praise of socialist regimes could be devastating in the general election.

Ultimately, as someone who wants to see much of Bernie's agenda enacted into law, I am unwilling to take a chance on Mr. Sanders being the nominee of the Democratic Party in 2020.
