In reply to the discussion: The Biggest reason I just can't #FeelTheBern (The Fetishization of Not Knowing) [View all]Cha
(295,926 posts)12. Wow, lunamagica .. I finally got the time to sit still and read this..
Daniel Kushner's article is quite comprehensive.. nothing I hadn't read at one time or another but here it is all together on one compact piece.
He asks an excellent question at the end..
"Again and again, when the Sanders campaign learns of these moves, the emphasis is on their being parts of the establishment. And they are parts of an establishment. But if this establishment is the enemy, then on whose side is he?"
Thank you for this.. I'll be sending it to my sister in California who supports Hillary but she is appalled by Sanders from just what she's seen of him on tv.. that's what she knows of politics.
She obviously has good instincts and I want her to know more of the details.
Muchas Gracias!

I think a big part of the "attraction" is general revulsion at US foreign policy since WW2
