What would you have Bernie do after loosing his primary?

The point being that Hilary's and Bernie's platforms were near identical. They agreed and voted together on the same issues 94% of the time. More than any other candidate they had ever run with.

The progressive Democrats are not that different from mainstream Democrats not because they're so far right like everyone loves to espouse but from a constant track record of Democrats regularly becoming more progressive.

Don't believe bullshit internet memes and lies about centrist Democrats being far right. They're not. They're working in the framework of American culture and despite what everyone thinks is going to happen every time we get a forward thinking leader, the government is slow by design and quick changes are not reality for almost any government except dictatorships.

Having a benevolent dictatorship would be phenomenal. The form of government doesn't matter as long as lives are being bettered. Representative Democracy tends to keep it from going full on off the rails in the span of a decade though.
