Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont rescued socialism -not Hillary- in national debate


As a democratic Socialist myself and a registered Democrat in Rhode Island I have been a critical supporter of Bernie Sanders . It is clear from his extraordinary campaign for president that " socialism " in America  is less and less a dirty word. Democratic socialists around the world did not think that the ideas and ideals of socialism-inspired now even by Catholic Pope Francis- died an eternal death after the collapse of the Stalinist Soviet Union.
Rather than just " rescue " Hillary on her Email crisis Sanders just told the truth about how most progressive people feel about the issue .

I have an Edward Snowden perspective on state secrets anyway. They are nothing less than a conspiracy behind the  backs of the American people. American foreign policy should be much more open and democratic-not the shadowy intrigue of CIA crackpots- who brought us the Iran-Contra scandal.
And as Sanders makes it clear again and again, American democracy is incompatible with the economic and political domination of the ONE PERCENT plutocracy.
Question : Should a scorned Bernie Sanders form a viable third party ? I think so.
