> His ideals dont align with the prevailing american values.
That's not exactly true. I recall an article in the Washington Post explaining that his propositions are actually supported by majority of Americans. Sanders is not a real socialist, he's just a New Deal Democrat.
- res0nat0r 11y agoMost of America is for the ACA, but against Obamacare, it all depends on how you phrase the question. The issue is that most of America isn't represented when it comes time to vote, only a small subset of people do, and those who do are not going to be voting for Sanders when it comes time to choose which Democrat to get behind.

- javert 11y agoThanks, though this clearly does not support the claim that was made. If this is the source of the claim---and it appears that it probably was---the claim is a serious mis-statement.
- res0nat0r 11y agoFeel free to Google for other articles that state the same, but the overall point is that: People that claim that Sanders' views are widely supported are not at all indicative of what will translate to the voting booth.
- javert 11y agoThat may be true---actually, I think it probably is. But that has nothing to do with the extremely bleak and cynical statement you made: > Most of America is for the ACA, but against Obamacare, it all depends on how you phrase the question which, fortunately, appears not to be the case.
