to vote if Hillary choose Bernie as VP, or would they have said that Bernie had "betrayed them"?

In fact they did say that when Bernie endorsed Hillary

Bottom line, it is a moot issue

I agree with you that the midterms look very bleak. I am very pessimistic about what is coming down the road, and when the laws are changed it will take decades to undo the damage.

That is why this election is a generational event. It will take another generation to undo the damage that will be done.

I hope I am wrong
