Indispensable Condition for a Political Alliance
In a
parliamentary government, Clinton's side would not have the necessary majority
to govern. In the USA setting this translates in Clinton's risk to lose the
presidency against Trump.
That said, because the history and fundamental political differences, it is wishful
thinking to ask Bernie's supporters to fall in line.
Bernie's supporters do not buy Clinton's changes of heart and her words at face
value (Obama's endorsement or not). This is why Bernie has to stay in the race
to the end and should have a meaningful convention, as never done before.
In my view, to defeat Trump, and the only way this thing can work, is if there is real power sharing between Clinton and Sanders. Not just
honorary assignments but actual hands on the levers of power.
This would amount to a coalition government, or in other words, checks and balance in the respect of the will of the people on both
sides of the Democratic Party’s fence.
What I mean is to divide the following roles and responsibilities
by the convention end, way before the presidential election. This would be an
actual political revolution that could satisfy the majority of Bernie’s
supporters.
