These half-hearted Democrats would be prime material for the formation of a viable third party as the economic crisis drives them to the left. But the much greater threat they perceive to their historic gains and present welfare from the Republicans will more likely keep them voting Democratic even if the party establishment forces a Clinton nomination down their collective throat.
I don't understand this weird obsession with the party label. If Bernie is unable to win in a Democratic primary which involves the left 40% of the US, then what chance would he have in a general election? Surely the latter is rigged at least as much as the former is. So why is it important that a good Leftist should contest as a third party candidate in the general election - where he is likely to be completely ignored, instead of doing what Bernie is doing right now to very good effect? -raghu.
