7. I'm not advocating against Sanders.

I'd even vote for Sanders. But my point was more towards the vast majority of Democratis, not the one or two declared Democratic Socialists. He is a force unto himself because he speaks the truth, and stands a very good chance of winning the election. I think he is as far left as is possible in a capitalist system, and I have yet to disagree with anything he says. Were we in another world, I think he would be a fully committed socialist.

Also, my worldview may be mis-interpreted as negativity at times, but in reality, I am filled with a hope for a society that can prioritize everyone, that choose the well being of the people and the world we live in over anything else. But the Democratic Party is unfortunately not going to get us there, and that is a historical fact.
