Dems Like Leftism, Not Bernie Sanders

I also find it interesting that someone like Ben Jealous running for Gov of Maryland while supported by Sanders' group, has gone out of his way to state that . . . he is not a socialist and would not govern that way.

The man is very progressive but he obviously is finding it difficult to separate himself from the 'socialist' label. Why? Because despite all the hoopla--increase in sentiment and a 40,000 member sign-uo and this is the future, yada, yada--socialism simply is not popular with the majority of the electorate.

I read here or elsewhere that Jealous stated quite clearly that he's a venture capitalist. That should end the matter. But it probably won't.

As for Bernie Sanders himself? Yes, he needs to stop stoking anti-Democratic Party fervor. But as is the case with the Jealous' predicament? He probably won't.
