Bernie Sanders and Upton Sinclair's EPIC 1934 campaign for Governor of California

  In some ways " socialist " Bernie Sanders and his campaign for the presidency as a Democrat-reminds me of Upton Sinclair's EPIC campaign for Governor of California in the Depression Era, in 1934. The famous author of " The Jungle " was defeated as a Socialist Party candidate for Congress. Like Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont , Upton Sinclair then chose to run for high office as a Democrat. He scared not only the California plutocrats but even the very liberal FDR.
For too many years the Democratic Party has rejected old fashioned CLASS STRUGGLE politics. It has practiced the pseudo-left politics of " political correctness.". It was symptomatic when Sanders was attacked by the " Black Lives Matter " group as being indifferent to race.Socialists are never indifferent to RACE. But CLASS is more fundamental.
As a democratic Socialist myself ( independent ) I can only give critical support to Sanders as he shakes up the Democratic Party machine.
But in truth Ralph Nader is even more radical than " socialist " Bernie Sanders. Nader is very scornful of the two party system in America. As a Green Party candidate for president he chose the former Socialist Workers Party leader Peter Camejo as his running mate, Still relevant today is Camejo's classic 60s pamphlet : " How to Make a Revolution in the United States ". Needless to say the former Trotskyist did not recommend voting for Democrats.
Has Bernie ever read this radical socialist pamphlet ?
