I am a registered DEMOCRAT in Rhode Island who voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary here ( Bernie won ! ) But all my political instincts are " democratic socialist " . I think WE working class majority need the American equivalent of the British Labor Party -which would give a voice to ALL our voters: radical, moderate , reformist, revolutionary- WITHIN the American working class. Too many " socialist " parties are now absurd sectarian personality cults - with no chance whatever of becoming VANGUARD parties of the working class. You cannot bludgeon working class people with any " ism " - certainly not Stalinism or militant atheism. You cannot talk " violence " when the world has had bloody enough of it in the last century and in this unpromising beginning of the new century. It would help if at least a few voices " on the Left " just started talking sense in a world where TRUTH is an orphan.
I was very disappointed in Bernie Sanders when he endorsed " Corrupt Hillary ", " Hawk Hillary ", " Wall St. Hillary " . Sanders could have planted the seeds of an INDEPENDENT American Labor Party .
