The electability business: is Bernie Sanders America's Corbyn?

the first New Hampshire voter stopped by the Guardian at a polling station in downtown Manchester – retired airline pilot Paul Demars – volunteered, unprompted, that he was voting for Sanders even though “I was nervous about the electability business: it’d be a real bummer if he got Corbyn’d”.

Most like Bernie. Cornyn was loathed. Bernie, unfortunately, has just had decades to be branded. He's not electable nationally

Conservatives in the UK would have Bernie’s stance on issues. Our country is so far to the right of the rest of the first world democracies that it renders any kind of comparison laughable.

I adore Bernie, but there is a lot of "truth" to this comparison.

We shall see what we see, I suppose.

It's not really Corbyn or Sanders fault. This populst white nationalist movement has taken over the free world the past 5 years. From Brexit to Trump to Boris Johnson. And Putin couldn't be happier.
