Yeah, I’m not confident on Bernie’s aim. It’s a good thing to aim for, but you better have game to kill that sucker dead.

You also have to be prepared for what that will actually look like. Sander’s and his supporters are selling the idea that they can pull off some sort of bloodless version of the French Revolution. I’m not sanguine (double entendre fully intended) enough to believe in this eventuality. The kind of change he’s demanding will almost necessarily come with a massive social disruption and damaging consequences that he and his supporters blithely ignore.
