...the impossible just happened in Alberta, Canada. The New Democratic Party won a majority. They are a party further to the left than your Democratic Party. Bernie would fit in well.

Alberta is Canada's Texas. Complete with cowboys, Big Oil...oh and a non-stop Conservative Party majority for the last 43 f'n years.
Its where our asshole Con Prime Minister is from. He who was fear mongering about a terrible disaster this would be for his home province when it started to look like an NDP win.

People deep down want real change. Look how fast support for legal marijuana and same sex marriage flipped over in your country. The tide can change quickly. Hillary better quickly start taking her liberal base seriously, or she may be run over again. Don't think they didn't notice this turn of events in their neighbour to the north.
