      I feel like we've gone in a blink of an eye from people arguing "neo-liberal is a meaningless term" to "actually Bernie is a neo-lib too!" https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1117187490018885632 …

      To be honest, if "Bernie is neo-lib just like us" is the convenient fiction needed to get centrists behind Bernie, then there's no problem with it.

      Many of them won't get around him even if he is the nominee. That's the biggest worry.

          History tells another tale. The biggest self-sabotage of the Democratic Party was in 1972 when centrists went out of their way to destroy George McGovern.

          Won’t make any difference. If Bernie is the nominee Trump will trounce us. Now envision an America where Trump has been re-elected easily. We need to coalesce around whoever is beating him. I’m all in for Kamala and I hope it’s her. But I’ll get behind someone else if needed.

          Damn imagine one of his primary opponents trying to screw him over after he/she was already mathematically eliminated. Crazy.

          I feel like, if that's actually the case, maybe he shouldn't be running in the first place.

          @HeerJeet you and your pals have spent years provoking us and making it less likely that we’d vote for him. All of your hard work is coming to fruition.

          The right thing is not voting for authoritarian populists, which both Trump and Bernie are. I will never, ever, ever, ever vote for either. I’d rather just die.
