Will the Democratic Party collapse if they don't embrace Bernieism?

Theyll collapse if they do embrace bernieism. There is no way they would hold onto their urban professional wing by shifting to a full on communist/socialist platform

And there's no way their non-urban-professional wing will vote for a party that doesn't promote progressive economic initiatives, and that group is way bigger.

If it's way bigger, Sanders would have won.

What? Hillary Clinton had celebrity name recognition going into the primaries and had built a decades long political career making inroads with various constituencies within the Democratic base. And to RINO Tom's point, she adopted 2/3's of Sanders platform for good reason.

Pandering.

So? That reinforces RINO Tom's point that the Democratic Party's progressive economic wing is far more powerful than people realize.

Third Way 90's neoliberal politics is dying. Obama was the first step, but Trump and Sanders are much clearer signs of this. That 90's way of thinking is as relevant to the Democratic Party as Eisenhower republicanism was in the late 70's.

The Hillary campaign basically told progressives to go screw themselves. As for Eisenhower Republicanism, that would be far preferable to the neoliberals running the Democratic party.

Democrats have failed to win contested seats with their current platform. They've lost on epic proportions in recent years (the Presidency, House, Senate, Supreme Court, etc.). Obviously, they're doing something wrong. Why not give Bernieism a shot? Appealing to blue collar voters (their New Deal Era base) and increasing millennial turnout doesn't sound like a bad idea.

But acting like a full-blown SJW (like Bernie and Warren) is a massive turnoff.

Isn't Sanders the most popular politician in America right now?

Clinton had a 70% approval rating when no one was attacking her, too.

The myth that Bernie was never attacked is ridiculous. The Washington Post alone was running 16 hit pieces a day.
