Sanders, like a good general, has a strategy.
He KNOWS what you don't seem to know, how POWERFUL the predatory capitalists are.
He COULD try to fight them from the outside, or he could use their own weapons and structures, and fight them from the inside.
I don't see much opposition to them over the past several decades. Any opposition is instantly crushed and labeled 'extremists'.
So that tactic doesn't work.
However someone who has achieved a little power within the system can and is inspiring people to finally use THEIR power to take the FIRST STEP to begin chipping away at the enormous fortress-like structure they have built around themselves from inside.
If you have a better plan, then let's hear it.
