What it can do eventually is destory the democratic party, then since we are in a two party system a new more leftist party can finally move in. Afterall one of the most important parts of the Democratic party is to make sure people like Bernie, let alone anyone to left of him, have no chance to be elected. They are the biggest barrier to progress.

You sure about that?

Don't let perfect be the enemy of not letting mask off fascists back to into a position of ultimate authority.

Yes I am sure. Everytime someone to the left of Bernie get's anywhere close to power you will hear democrats like Pelosi or Schumer have "concerns" about reaching across the isle, the budget for things like universal healthcare. You'll have them tout truisms like "we need to be a united not divided in the face of terrorism." Just look at who fund the democrats on the local levels, parasites like land-lords, insurance companies, banks. All of these industries thrive under the status-quo. You think they want progressive taxation, universal healthcare, or non-profit banking?
