Sanders remains at heart the radical he convinced himself to be in the 60s. He considers the Democratic Party as much the Establishment as he does the Republican Party. He has always considered them interchangeable opponents of revolutionary action. He wishes not to ally with or assist the Democratic Party, rather he imagines he can take it over, make it over into his own image, and having thus breached the castle wall, use his new revolutionary party as the tool for destruction of the remaining institutions of the Establishment. A course of action, on reflection, rather like that of a virus towards a living cell.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
