Consider the source. Sanders is the only avowed socialist in the US Congress. There’s a reason why he’s not a Dem; he thinks they’re too far to the right.

And Conyers…

House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers, D-Michigan, said that “this is a fight for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party and the Nation. I can tell you with certainty that legislative blackmail of this kind by the Republicans will be vehemently opposed by many if not most Democrats, progressives, and some Republicans who are concerned with the country’s financial budget. I for one will do everything in my power to make certain that legislation along these lines does not pass during the lame duck session.”
