I have been hoping for a socialist movement to come together for many years. Where are the socialist candidates? Where is the socialist party? When somebody finally comes along and states that he is a "socialist" of some sort, he gets attacked because he is not pure enough. I, for one, will support Bernie with the hope that he will prevail. Then we can make some progress, and not just complain from the sidelines about "purity". Bernie is not perfect. So what? Who is?
