Fortunately actual Dems who were lagging in the race knew of this socialist oppo also and it scares the crap out of them so they coalesced behind an actual Democrat, Biden, to save our party from the toxic socialist label and total ruination in November and subsequent election cycles for years to come.
Their advantage of being an actual Democratic Party member hopefully has shown Sanders the disadvantage of not having that advantage.
Somehow that basic political fact took Sanders and his followers by surprise. I chalk that up to Sanders' unfathomable political naiveteand his similar naivete in thinking he could win at the convention with just a third of the delegates, and also his height of naivete in thinking the party and nation would elect a socialist.
He should suspend his campaign immediately and apologize to his followers for his gross misreading of America's political realityit's aversion to socialismand his misleading of them to also assume his unfortunate naivete.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
