eh, you just come across to me as a person looking for a plausible, "this would pass" solution as opposed to an ideological "health insurance above all else!" type. you want your "real solutions" as opposed to the utopian ones, partially out of fear that it'll collapse into a dystopian one should it fail. climate change hasn't been brought up but i'd assume there's a similar approach on that; bernie's very extreme on both of those positions and so are many of his diehard supporters. it's also why there's a clear limit on how far he can go and while he's doing very well at moving the needle he does need a completely messed up field or major failings by the top guys to win. the hate on him ain't all "oh he's a socialist!", it's more of a quiet dislike of "eh, too many promises, not enough reality." his success in this campaign is a testament to how much better the messaging has gotten.

bear in mind i pop in and out of these topics with months long breaks so i ain't the best judge. and i've been called everything under the sun.
