dems don't care about issues.they are proving there is no place for liberals and progressives In Democratic party.

Once primarys are over Clinton will move back to center/right and be all about finding middle ground.and majority of dems
support that since they support her.

The only way for bernie to win is to win nomination and that seems unlikely to happen since too many dems are prepared to vote for her nomatter what.
