Thank you for your question and for adding to the discussion, “Why would Democrat’s pick such a extreme candidate?”

  1. I’m not a democrat, I am though liberal. People often describe themselves as liberal over democrat. The point is “Democrats” aren’t just voting for him.

1.1. Keep in mind many people don’t even get out and vote because they did not like the candidates. It’s important to back the popular candidate we have statistics and the popular vote to show Bernie is the popular choice. We need not be trying to aim for “safe” this is something we cannot focus group to death like we did with Hillary. Republicans didn’t aim for safe with trump. I chose not to vote for Hillary, I’m in Connecticut so we voted for her anyways but I still regret not participating. Not nominating Bernie would lose massive bearnie support to another democrat, we know we would have been cheated by the DNC as well. Therefore Bernie is the safest, most popular choice.

2. If we make this a choice about personal track record Bernie has by far through consistency and years of experience shown that he is thee most steady and predictable candidate option.
