"Sanders is not really a socialist, just an old fashioned liberal; and his views on foreign policy are more or less of a piece with those of conventional Democrats. But even in these areas, he is a whole lot better than Clinton, and as good as anyone else who could run for national office as a Democrat. On economic, environmental, and social policies, his views are not only better than Clinton's; they are better than we Americans have any right to expect–after having wallowed for so long in the neoliberal-neoconservative miasma that the Clintons promote.
"I can therefore live with Sanders' politics; it is more than good enough."
Andrew Levine in CounterPunch calls on Democrats to "Smash Clintonism."
