What Bernie stands for is not radical or extreme. It’s nothing more than a return to the traditional FDR Democratic Party position of always being on the side of the working people in America. Prior to the 1980s, that was considered the core of the Democratic Party.

Those in both parties who paint Bernie as extreme are doing so in order to protect an economic paradigm that puts corporations before people. THAT is what should be seen as extreme.

Uh FDR was a socialist and globalist. Only way to be on the side of workers is to support INDUSTRY so they have WORK not Government handout.
#FDR was FAR more radical, his top marginal rate was 94% on all income over $200,000 and with a change in the amount of income exempt from taxation an estimated 12 million Americans were eliminated from the tax rolls entirely. #Bernie2020 #NotMeUs
