The problems of Our Revolution will be imputed to the Democratic party as a whole. You can bet that Republicans will seize on OR's problems, and be able to say truthfully that other Democrats are noting those problems. We'll get to spend a lot of time in the next several weeks explaining the difference, while the media retreat into their safe space of a familiar narrative. The nuances and the subtleties that OR isn't the Democrat [sic] Party will be plowed under in the haste to repeat their favored story.
