They will be more disruptive since they are the protest wing within the 
Democratic Party.  It is in their nature to protest with how things are, 
much as DT has within the GOP (though I am not sure that the initial G 
is appropriate at the moment).  What BS needs to realise now is that the 
real danger is DT and the chaos to world order he would cause he ever 
moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Nobody really knows what he stands 
for and what he would promote. That is dangerous to us all, wherever we 
live in the world.

Senator Sanders has every right to argue for his policies to be included 
in the Democratic Party platform in November.  We also need to recognize 
that Hillary Clinton is not popular at about -14% favourability.  This 
compares with about -20% for Donald Trump, both figures from the 
Huffington Post.  Unfortunately you are faced with a choice between two 
umpopilar candidates.  The fact remains that Hillary Clinton has secured 
more votes in the primary season than Bernie Sanders has.  When Hillary 
Clinton recognized that deficit against Barack Obama in 2008 she 
withdrew her candidacy and supported him.  Bernie Sanders needs to do 
the same now, be realistic.  The alternative is something that fills me 
with foreboding for the USA and the world.  I only regret that the 
number of "not Trump" candidates among the Republicans meant that none 
of them became a viable alternative in their primary season.
