Disaster is Brewing

Someone is going to be the Democratic Party nominee for president. Barring a brokered convention that appoints someone completely unexpected, it will be either Sanders or a centrist. The centrist will probably be Biden.
There are two main sides in this primary struggle, and only one of them is going to win. The losing side will be upset and bitter.
I’ve already mentioned the Sanders supporters unwilling to support anyone else in the general election. Well, it turns out there’s also no shortage of centrists who will refuse to support Sanders. So far as the small (but not zero) chance of dark horse, it won’t be Sanders, so the Left will be upset.
Humphrey v2.0 or McGovern v2.0. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
