Oh but the people commenting at WaPo are enthusiastic over the Sanders.
They seem to believe that government will no longer be “the hammer of the ruling class” after his plans are all implemented.
Yet he has repeatedly and consistently supported policies which have done exactly what he claims to be against - by design. Large corporations are encouraged to merge by the policies to absorb the costs and survive them, squelching out other smaller competitors who either have to sell out to them or just go out of business. Private physician practices? Dying out and becoming part of corporations. Nonprofits being squeezed out to corporate interests. Sanders again and again has supported big government policies causing all of these problems that he rails against - promising that if we just give him even more control over our lives and wealth he'll make things better - and then the process continues to repeat until finally he has it all.
