Trump should make everyone realize we're voting for a presidential administration, not a healthcare program.
Since Sanders has mostly worked alone over the years, his entire history is not very complex, even with all his obfuscations. You're going to find out he's a true believer. His contempt for the choices Democratic voters have always made is as real as his attempt to overset their vote in 2016.
Also, since the subjects are brought up, how about extremist personality and politics? His plans for HOW he's going to accomplish his impossible goals are real wowsers. Take a good look at his own earnest explanations he's given many times. His whackadoodle plan to overset our system of checks and balances as president, because he assumes rightly that congress would block his more extreme plans, isn't exactly protective of the liberal democracy nations around the planet have copied from us.
Also his constant assertions for decades that Democrats do the same things as Republicans, always have, and are really hardly different. What does it say about him that he could believe Democrats also pack the courts with extremist judges who persecute minorities, like the Republicans do? Yes, he said that, at the She the People conference. One of thousands of reality-denying over the years that should make everyone take a real good look at him.
Also learn what the Democratic socialism he's promoted for years is -- never to be confused with the socialist democracy systems within capitalist economies of some European nations, no matter how he tries to fool people that it should be. Onions and oranges.
As for your last, those who believe mainstream choices must be overcome for everyone's good are unquestionably demonstrating "undemocratic belief systems." Those who supported Sanders as he promised many times to overthrow the popular primary vote to have himself made the nominee did just that, and those who support him now, with undeniable proof of what he'd do, are doing just that.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
