Don’t fear Sanders or the other ‘S’ word
At Bernie Sanders meetings I’ve attended, supporters have expressed concern that his being a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist will prevent him from getting the nomination. Recently on Bill Maher’s program, the host expressed similar concerns during his interview with Sanders. A Gallup poll shows fewer than 50 percent of Americans would vote for a socialist candidate. By contrast, that same poll said 58 percent of Americans would vote for an atheist.
