Are there really still people making the "Bernie" argument? Bernie Sanders, the Democratic Socialist, is in office because he is from the small state of Vermont. His policies would not play out on the wider, national stage. Do you not see already how people fear a "progressive" agenda? Further, Sanders is Jewish, and, unfortunately, in this anti-Semitic country, he would have no chance of winning. Just how many Southern or prairie states do you think he would have carried?
