And if Democratic voters are short-sighted enough to nominate her, then the country and the Democratic Party, along with those Democratic voters, will pay the price of that short-sightedness.

The reality is that there is a struggle within the party for party identity, and whom the party will represent. If the neo-liberal block wins, then the party will become irrelevant for the 99%. That neo-liberal block can no longer depend on the rest of the party staying at the back of the Democratic bus. Many are going to get off that bus and start finding a different way to move forward.
