@Northwest I agree, but it's such fodder for the Trumpists. And to hedge on being a capitalist makes it appear they are following, not leading.

@SW-User The bulk of Silicon Valley, Portland high tech, Seattle High Tech, is Socialism? This IS leading.

The Trumpists are going to fudge, and no amount of reality is going to convince them. We'll see who ends up winning the primaries. The party platform is not going to move any further left. The Bernie 2016 additions (free education and universal healthcare) are big enough items.

@Northwest The Bernie wing will push on that platform very hard indeed! Let's hope it doesn't collapse.

@SW-User I think Bernie should pass the baton. We get it, but the country, and the world, cannot afford another 4 years of Trump.
