63. I don't call Bernie radical
Tue May 24, 2016, 05:05 PM

But at least one of the guys he's putting on the platform committee is.

We are way past the Democrats of 50 years ago. We've expanded the social state since then.

Hillary is not a corporatist. That's a left wing smear. She has a very liberal voting record and her proposals are well to the left of center. I don't know of anybody promoting her as a progressive poster child.
