If the Bernie bots perceived they’ve been screwed by the DNC again enough of them will be so damned angry they will not support the dem and this will be a problem for whomever the dnc designates.

Do the Bernie disciples hate the DNC or Trump more? And what if Bernie sells out again?

You aren’t looking long range enough.
If the socialists can run their own ticket and actually come out ahead of the Democrat nominee then they can set the eventual collapse of the Democrat Party in motion and later step in to fill the power vacuum.

They wouldn’t have to beat Trump to have a huge victory in the long game.
