Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the Senates most unabashedly progressive member, told the Burlington Free Press on Friday that he may run for President in 2016 if there is not a suitably liberal candidate.
Sanders, who identifies as a Democratic Socialist, cited the need for a candidate who can tamp down on Wall Street, oppose austerity cuts and tackle climate change.

If there is not a suitably liberal candidate Hillary is too moderate for him. This would be interesting actually.I hope he goes third Party (Green?), so as to syphon off democrat votes.

I find it disgusting how Socialists, Marxists, Fascists, communists and Nazis are becoming so popular in this country these days. I’m never going to get used to living in a police state.

I doubt it will happen, because Dems want to win more than have the purest ideology.
This would split the commie vote.

I dunno, after her speech at the Boeing plant, I think Kshama Sawant’s a rising star in far-left nuttiness.

Oh hell yes. But “socialist” is way too moderate - Bernie needs to run as a Communist. It’s so chic.
To: Libloather
Yes. Please run as a independent. Maybe it will wipe out the dem gains from whoever runs as a losertarian.

YES! RUN BERNIE RUN! And if you don’t get the Dem nomination, run as a Socialist as a Third Party Candidate. You can be the spoiler for the Dems like the Libertarians are for the GOP.
