It doesn’t help that Sanders, both in his past history and present rhetoric sometimes comes across as a communist, which explains, as we shall note, some of hysteria about him coming from within the Party.

Thanks for placing this nonsense toward the front of your article, saving me the effort to read any farther. If you think that Bernie is, or advocates for, communism nothing you say will have any merit. He, like FDR, Truman, and Eisenhower before him, is simply advocating that the nation use its power of the purse to advance the common welfare and benefit the people as Congress is mandated to do in Article 1: Section 8.
