Since you never actually READ the articles, I'll post the conclusion of that one for you: "When I first met Bernie Sanders, I'd just spent over a decade living in formerly communist Russia. The word "socialist" therefore had highly negative connotations for me, to the point where I didn't even like to say it out loud. But Bernie Sanders is not Bukharin or Trotsky. His concept of "Democratic Socialism" as I've come to understand it over the years is that an elected government should occasionally step in and offer an objection or two toward our progress to undisguised oligarchy. *Or, as in the case of not giving tax breaks to companies who move factories overseas, our government should at least not finance* the disappearance of the middle class**. Maybe that does qualify as radical and unserious politics in our day and age. If that's the case, we should at least admit how much trouble we're in. Congratulations, Bernie. Good luck and give 'em hell." I don't know anyone, even Matt Taibbi, who gives Bernie a snowball's chance in hell of being president. Most of us 'liberals' just hope he drags Hillary or whoever a LITTLE to the left.
