Bernie Sanders will swear in de Blasio as Mayor of NYC for his second term.

No matter how much De Blasio kisses Bernie's ass, he will never win over his cultists.
You see, he was once the campaign manager of the Devil incarnate.

Who?  Clinton?  de Blasio was never a campaign manager AFAIK and he wanted to endorse Sanders.  His aides told him to endorse Hillary.

He was Clinton's campaign manager for her first senate campaign.

Elected officials shouldn't let their aides influence them like that.

Endorsing Hillary was a decree set by DWS that all party members were forced and cajoled into following. There's a reason that the 5 individuals who dared to run against Clinton were virtual unknowns (Chafee, Lessig, Webb), failed politicians (O'Malley), or not even a real Democrat (Sanders). Anyone remotely important who even thought about challenging or questioning her great highness Hillary Clinton, and/or her right-hand Woman DWS, was marginalized, criticized, declared irrelevant, called a sexist, and deeply punished. That included Obama, Biden, other women like Amy Klobuchar, and tons of other Democrats. We should thank God that Hillary lost and that DWS was fired. The democratic party is better off without those witches.

If you really believe that DWS went out and threatened every Democratic congressman, senator and governor to support Hillary, then you should make an appointment with a therapist.
I'd really love to be there when she threatened people like Harry Reid, Jerry Brown or John Lewis.

Anyway, since you have it all figured out, can you inform us what was the punishment imposed on the heretics Keith Ellison, Raul Grijalva, and Jeff Merkley?

I should clarify that there were many legitimate Hillary supporters. But DWS's and Hillary's threats, name-calling, and punishments were the reason Hillary had support among 90% of party leaders instead of 50 or 60 percent.

I'm still waiting to learn the punishments Sanders supporters suffered.

Having to settle for Perez as DNC Chair and Pelosi saying "We're Capitalist, and that's just how it is!" and then proceeding to oppose Sanders's Medicare For All Bill were the most visible. But I imagine a lot more would have been seen had the Democrats won control of the Senate and/or House - Denial of a committee chairmanship they would have otherwise had, for instance.

Perez was a darling of the left til the moment he dared endorse Clinton. Now suddenly he is anathema to Nomiki Konst and Cenk Uygur.
And since when it's betrayal to the left that the Democrats support capitalism? If they want a non-capitalist party then I'm sure the doors of the Communist Party are open for them.

And Medicare for All might sound good but it's a non-viable proposition right now. If Sanders makes the numbers of his plan work one day, without Ryan-esque magic asterisks, then we might take his plan seriously.

In short, your "punishment" talking point is pure BS.
