Well I believe that too, but to suggest Sanders is not far to the left in our country - in our culture - is just wrong.

You have a good head on your shoulders Steve

I doubt that you have ever listened to Bernie

You don't sound like you have

You need to hear the guy in person rather than Limbaugh or Fox's version

" to suggest Sanders is not far to the left in our country - in our culture - is just wrong."

60% want tax increases on the rich. 67% don't want to change Medicare eligibility. I suspect, if we poll on issues like creating an emergency deficit-reduction surtax on millionaires or ending tax breaks and subsidies for big oil, gas and coal companies Message 28582455 , we would have similar results.

I'd say old Bernie is pretty mainstream, despite his labels.
