Oh come-on, it's not the end of the world!
It'll shake things up a bit, but won't get too far out of hand 'cuz Congress will restrain them, particularly in Bernie's instance.
And it will open the door for more individual and interesting candidates in the future! :thumbs:
I'm not worried about Sanders' platform, because if Congress and/or the Supreme Court holds up, Sanders will tank. It is the consequence of selecting Sanders, which will drive Trump to raise the socialist flag with actual effect for the first time in well over a hundred years that troubles me. Given a choice between 'keep as it is, but only for deserving white people' versus "revolution and dozens of trillions of dollars of spending!" people will probably flock to Trump and armed with a Republican base increasingly willing to do radical things to clamp down on the civil liberties of millions of people looked down upon [1], I'm more than worried about the demagoguery.
