You can't compare almost 40 years ago to today for one thing. The repubs have skillfully pulled this country to the far right since Reagan. They knew they weren't going to turn the masses in one election cycle - they carefully planned out their strategy and the idiots fell for it and now think all the crap being done to them is better than being a LIBERAL!!!!

That's the problem with today's far left. They think it's going to take a year or two to change enough people - it simply is not going to happen no matter how bad we want it. That is the main reason the Democrats have to play this middle of the road game. I hate it too but I'd much rather have someone like Hillary than Trump.

I fall into the Socialist spectrum on political tests - to the left of Sanders himself. However I am practical enough to know that's not gonna happen in this country any time soon. Until then.. lots of stuff has to be done and it ain't gonna happen by someone telling me how to do stuff and not even acknowledge the party he wants to control is decent enough to bother with.
