"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

John Steinbeck

Actually it has to do entirely with race.

America's diversity has been the roadblock to socialism. Whites don't feel empathy to help the poor if they think the poor don't look like them.

If you go to Western Europe today you'll see socialist countries trying to peel back some of their socialist programs as more non-whites begin to immigrate. In America, you'll see welfare spending by states goes up the more homogenously white the state becomes.

As with everything else in this country, anti-black racism is the driving force of white behavior.

Can someone give me a realistic, unbiased breakdown of how this could play out?

From what I understand it would take a lot for Bernie to get the democratic nomination... my question is, what realistically needs to happen for him to get the nom?

He's going to have to own the rest of the smaller states like he did yesterday by winning big there and then score an upset or two in the larger upcoming states (NY, PA, NJ, CA) and at least break even or close to it in the ones he doesn't win.

Accomplishing the above will allow him to make a strong argument for the superdelegates. If he can eke out even a slim margin of victory in the pledged delegates, he should be able to convince those superdelegates to switch (or its gonna be a shytshow like it is with the Republicans).

His campaign was talking about using being close in pledged delegates, having momentum, and performing better against the Republican nominee as an argument to get the superdelegates to switch, but that's not going to work. He's gonna need an outright victory in terms of the number of pledged delegates to have a shot at the nomination.
