Democrats rally behind Bernie Sanders, the most left-wing presidential candidate ever

Democrats may not be socialists themselves, but they appear to be socialist fellow travelers: A poll conducted in 2019 by the Cato Institute revealed that 64 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism, while only 45 percent have a favorable view of capitalism.

And as a child of the radical politics of the 1960s who still retains a vestige of the hippiedom that had him living at a commune once upon a time, Sanders checks off all the necessary woke boxes open borders, gender consciousness, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, climate change, you name it.

But he has not allowed his comfort for and sympathy with wokedom to overshadow his larger message about fundamental change.

Sanders goes big. He doesn t care about what things cost, or the specifics about how to make change happen. He s short on details and long on vision. That vision is rooted in an implicit view of the United States as a fundamentally unjust country awash in the evils of untrammeled capitalism and in need of revolution.

He is the logical end result of American leftism. And so, it ­appears, is the party he is probably going to run.
