On Democratic Party Unity
Rather than threaten Sanders with ostracism, Democrats could embrace his message, and thereby his supporters. The message going out presently is he better bend to the establishment's will, or else. The establishment risks disenchanting huge numbers of voters by denying Bernie's accomplishment of bringing them all together. Right now the Democratic apparatus declares itself closed to change at the very moment it could best capitalize on demand for change. Unless the Democratic party can open it's arms and embrace a substantial part of Bernie's platform, one cannot dismiss fears that Trump wins in November.
