The only way you're going to satisfy the Sanders people is to make the same fairy-tale promises that Sanders did. Unless they promise free college, free health care, and free weed, they're going to either start a Draft Bernie movement or try and convince Zephyr Teachout to run in the primary.
I lost a few friends this past primary season because I was the one to back the reality bus: saying you're going to take in more dollars than dollars exist in new tax revenue in addition to the current revenue by a magical tax on Wall Street to pay for Medicare For All and to make every college and university tuition-free is just as much a wet-dream fantasy as saying you're going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.
I'll say to those morons the same thing I said last time: you want a "true progressive," you'll lose in an epic bloodbath. Don't believe me? Look up the electoral map from 1972 and see what happened to the "true progressive" George McGovern.
