"If he wins and it becomes clear that he has a path to the nomination, we expect your whole support. Your lack there of will be remembered for many election cycles."

and many of us mainstream Dems as you call us, remember the 2016 cycle and the lack of support from the "Bernie crowd".

Yes, IF Bernie wins, we will vote for him for President. We won't do to Bernie what many of his (not the majority, but a significant number) did to Hillary.

And, by the rules, his path to the nomination is not more delegates than anyone else, but 50% plus one.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
