I agree - but he is being treated like a fringe force by the DNC and the party elite right now.

They haven't voted yet, not once. Again..this is very similar to where we were back in '08...Hilary had almost ALL of the super-delegates supporting her in February...yet Obama won the nomination almost unanimously on the first ballot. These "super" delegates are NOT obliged to vote for any candidate at the convention and they can and will change their minds as the process evolves.
If we do away with income disparity, why would anyone work hard to become a doctor, or lawyer, or a scientist, or a business leader? Why not just take the easiest job you can find because, you know, income is equal?
Kind of like Trump - and if the Republican super delegates try to stack the nomination against him I think it would be wrong.
and this you don't understand? It's pretty clear to me why this is so.....He is like Trump with the GOP hierarchy. He ain't one of the boyz.....
You fail to understand or attempt to understand what income disparity is......Income disparity is the fact that the rich are getting richer and fewer and the poor are getting poorer and morer! The plight of the "middle class" is frightful...they are working more and their purchasing power is not able to keep pace with living expenses.
Exactly. He's not a fringe candidate if you look at the values of the Dem Party from FDR until Clinton. Then the DLC took over.
There have always been D candidates that represent the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" (as the Dean folks used to say), but starting with Bill they have not won the D nomination.
Even in 2008, when slightly-less-conservative Obama beat Hillary, there were "real" Democrats in the race for much of the way (Kucinich, Edwards, Biden) and even a libertarian Democrat (Gravel).
If we had an electoral process that didn't thoroughly stack the deck against 3rd parties, I might agree. But we don't. Which means that venting your displeasure by going to another party that doesn't rig the nomination isn't really a valid market alternative.
But isn't it true he has caucused with the Democrats for the last 25 years? We Republicans certainly wanted nothing to do with him.
Could pull the DNC support. Run Biden as a 3rd party insuring that Clinton would lose.
