Sanders is changing America [View all]

Link to Politico analysis; excerpt:

Sanders has proudly not backed down from the “socialist” label, and in doing so forced the most leftist political discussion in modern times.... Sanders appeals to what used to be known as the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd, especially mostly middle-class citizens, who believe America is being taken over by Wall Street and other pernicious traditional powers. ... Sanders supporters voice opinions that yesterday they may have been unsure of or publically afraid to knowledge for fear of being alone and called a “socialist."
