Bernie should just run as VP then.
An even better move would be Keith Ellison, he's black, he's Muslim and he's one of the few Congressmen who formally endorsed Bernie.

Bernie should just run as VP then.
Your theory only works if Bernie gives Clinton the same help that Hillary and Bill gave Obama in 2008.
If and when Hillary gets the nomination, we will finally know if Bernie's revolution was about helping people or helping himself
If Bernie Sanders and his supporters play the "the are both just as bad, No Bernie no vote" or their is actually an exodus of "anti-establishment" voters to the Trump side, then the progressive movement stops dead in it's tracks.
Because it would confirm a lot people's biggest fear about this campaign. That conservatives value white supremacy, while white progressives still have white privileged
But I have faith that won't be the case.
There is no need to wonder, white progressive do have privileges that minorities do not have. The question is how will that influence voting patterns.
Whites of all political stripes can weather a Trump presidency. That is all the more reason for the DNC to purge the DLC elements and embrace genuine populism. If Hillary Clinton wins the nomination, she cannot win the general with minority and LGBT and feminist issues alone, she has to appeal to a certain number of white working class straight guys in order to win.
If you tell white men to check their privilege but you let the middle class continue its decline, you will just further radicalize huge majorities of white voters. Because white people already enjoy better protection under the law and cultural dominance, they associate privilege with having financial security. So when you say that a working class or poor white guy is privileged, he now sees liberals as both opposed to his material interests and as being dishonest.
It's time to decouple social justice from laissez-faire capitalism. That is if Sec. Clinton is actually interested in breaking down ALL the barriers.

Don't think it's likely but imagine the #'s these 2 would do on the same ticket in a general :x :x
Can Obeezy be her VP?
The thught of Keith Ellison as VP
The thought of Keith Ellison as VP
Minneapolis in the House (literally and figuratively)The thought of Keith Ellison as VP
The more I think of it the better a choice he becomes:
- He's young so he could run for President in 2020, 2024 or beyond.
- Hillary could dispel the narrative that the "Clinton machine," is insular and vindictive.
- He'd grab most of the Bernie supporters in the general.
- He would balance the ticket in terms of race and gender.
- His being Muslim would troll the hell out of Trump and his people.
The most hated women in Conservative circles, runs with a black Muslim, co-signed by a Jewish socialist for the purpose of making Obama a Supreme Court Justice, this is beyond real America's worst nightmares.
