And they will be running the country in a few yearsIt is interesting that you consider Sander's a communist. I suspect that you are old enough that you consider socialism as synonymous with communism, totalitarianism, and the end democracy.In the forty years following the Russian Revolution of October 1917, communism was the most dynamic force in American left-wing politics
In the 1950's many democratic and elitist liberal republican Washington politicians and government workers had connections in their past with communism.
As has been pointed out previously...many Americans became enamoured with communism during the great depression followed by our alliance with Russia to fight German Nazism which added further reason for many in Washington...even members of the military....to be soft on communism or if not somehow personally involved had friends and relatives and other associates who were.
Our universities were ripe recruiting grounds for the communist internationale....many succumbed to the notion that communism had something to offer.
However, the American people finally woke to the barbaric reality of communism after WWII was over...and the people.....(not to include the elitists, academians and members of the msm) began to understand the threat communsim posed to liberty.
Thus those who had something in their history regarding communism felt threatened when the tide turned against communism.....and they did their best to hide their history and were quite fearful of being exposed.
Then along came Senator McCarthy who began to do exactly that.
Thus these people who had something to hide and much to fear ....organized and began to demonize to the best of their ability Senator McCarthy and his drive to rid our government and military of communists and communist sympathizers.
With the help of the media they were very successful at creating the myth of McCarthyism that has endured to this day.
Not even to mention that the front-runner in the democratic partys nomination process is for all intents and purposes --a communist--as has even been pointed out by Bill Clintons top advisor.

Sander's is most popular with the young, those under 40. They grew up without fear of annihilation by the Red Menace in a world in which runaway capitalism was a far greater danger than creeping socialism. They envy the socialist countries in Europe where kids go to college without being saddled by a lifetime of debt, where healthcare is a right not just for those that can afford it, and the quality of life is not measure by the size of a bank account.
The milennials are stupid and have little knowledge of history.....and think they are entitled to free stuff cuz dey are just o so special dats what dere mommy told them. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa take a hike boy hehheh
