Many of the people yelling “Bernie could never beat Trump!” know in their hearts that maybe he could - but they themselves don’t want it so they’re just saying that. “He’s too extreme!” What an age we’re living in, that healthcare and education and justice for all seem “extreme.”

George Orwell couldn't even write it as horribly dystopian as it is right now. People are just parroting talking points and don't stop and think for a moment that they're being manipulated by the media.

I hear you. But please tell me which actual policy is “extreme” and why?

His proposals aren't extreme and neither is his commitment to telling some hard, moral truths. What makes him a genuine risk for the DEM party is his past. He's said some very extreme things, on camera. They make him a hard sell, and they DO threaten the down ballot candidates.

It's beautiful that u never lived in a socialist country, but some of us have. U can't just law of attract yourself out of that regime. So stop playing stupid! Healthcare isn’t extreme, taxing the middle class to death in the name of equality is! Big govt should scare everyone!
