Obama, outside of his campaign rhetoric, very clear to the Party that he was another "New Democrat". It only took removing a very thin layer to get to the fact he was nothing new, instead another economically conservative Democrat. While Sanders has caucused with the Democrats, he hasn't been one and only did so because it meant an immediate stage for his presidential bid. This doesn't mean Sanders is in any way like Eugene Debs, or that his "democratic socialism" isn't just left liberalism. But there is a difference from Obama. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
