Maybe they don't know what it is.

Maybe they just THINK they don't like it.

Maybe Clinton can persuade the DEM primary electorate of the *evils* of socialism and how wrong it is to "scapegoat" Wall Street and the financial industry.

We've got to find a way to dig ourselves out of this hole created by the endless recycling of mediocrities peddling the same old cliches and NON-solutions to systemic problems.

What better opportunity to do so than a DEM primary season campaign?

If Sanders is seen as hopelessly radical, the primary results will likely reflect that.

This is what primary campaigns are for... isn't it? To compare and contrast ideas.
