We still haven't overcome racism in our institutions even though civil rights legislation happened in the 60's. Sometimes an entire generation or more has to pass on for big changes.

Only if the Bernie people don't vote for whoever the nominee is. If they do that fuck'em. They need to spend the next four years keeping their mouth shut. I am about as far left as anyone, but I am also pragmatic. I know this is a centrist country. Less than half of registered Democrats identify themselves as Progressives. Only about 28% of registered voters are Democrats, and about the same number are Republicans. The rest are registered Independents. A little more of those Indies lean left more than to the right, and less than 10% actually are true Indies. Do the math. You could end up with a brokered convention and that might mean it will be neither Bernie or Joe. The most important thing is to get rid of trump, period.
