SANDERS IS RIGHT UP FRONT ABOUT HIS SOCIALISM, THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATS TRY TO HIDE IT, THEY ARE NOT THE DEMOCRATS OF YOUR PARENTS, JFK WAS THE LAST REAL DEMOCRAT OF OLD VALUES, AND THEY SMOKED HIM.
So Bernie Sanders is running for president again, seeking the Democratic nomination in South Carolina.
Just don’t count on all Democrats giving him a warm and fuzzy welcome.
The fact that Sanders, an independent democratic socialist senator from Vermont, isn’t a full-blown member of the Democratic Party is irksome to some, especially those trying to make South Carolina competitive in a red state.
When talk first surfaced of Sanders’ second run becoming a reality, the Rev. Joe Darby of the Charleston NAACP and the influential Morris Brown AME Church tweeted: “Sorry — I plan to vote for a Democrat.”
Darby told Palmetto Politics that Sanders is using the party “as a means of convenience.”
Charleston County Democratic Party Chairman Brady Quirk-Garvan chimed in when Sanders appeared in North Charleston last month. He pointed out that Sanders didn’t ask the local Democrats to promote an event that drew hundreds.
“I’m no expert in Democratic primaries, but this doesn’t seem like a helpful re-boot,” Quirk-Garvan said.
Moments after Sanders made his announcement official Tuesday, state Sen. Marlon Kimpson, D-Charleston — who plans to hold several town halls with the 2020 Democratic candidates — spoke up, too, saying Sanders’ credibility is at stake.
“We are a big tent party, but it’s my view at some point Bernie Sanders will have to commit to being a Democrat in order to be taken seriously by many this time around,” he told his followers. “We have a great field and of declared Democrats and more on the way.”
Kimpson said he didn’t plan to “freeze out” Sanders from his town halls this season (Sanders took part in 2016, too) but said he expects Sanders to be confronted with some hard questions over why he isn’t more committed to the party.
Sanders, 77, knows his critics are out there. He defends his arms-length attitude by saying he aligns with the Democratic caucus and that huge sector of the country are dissatisfied with both of the major parties, so why not reach out to independents and the disaffected, too?
That includes South Carolina, with its open primary system where anyone can take part.
Sanders does have a lot in his favor in the Palmetto State, where the latest polls put him into the top tier. In 2016, he got more young people, black voters, and liberals — who hadn’t had a hero since Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich — to organize here.
Most of his 2016 South Carolina rallies dwarfed the turnout numbers of those held by Hillary Clinton.
Given his track record, he’ll have staying power this time around, as well, with a spot on every debate stage practically assured, along with the overwhelming likelihood there will be enough money to stay in the race till the end.
Even as Sanders is the most experienced Democrat in the 2020 presidential herd, however, his previous South Carolina showing wasn’t stellar. Clinton won by a 73 percent to 26 percent margin in 2016 out of some 370,000 votes cast, taking every county.
Sanders also left the state early, essentially giving up on competing here mid-week before the vote, departing to campaign in the Midwest instead.
While he returned to the state briefly that Friday, he was absent for the balloting Saturday.
This year, some of those who supported him in the past aren’t automatically with him now.
State Rep. Justin Bamberg, who famously switched his endorsement from Clinton to Sanders in 2016, said he has not committed to Sanders again and is still monitoring the field. “What is Joe Biden going to do?” he said.
He also downplayed the idea of anyone questioning Sanders’ credentials, given that many of the current crops of Democrats are embracing reforms he champions, such as Medicare for all.
With Sanders’ entry, there are 10 confirmed candidates running for the Democratic nomination. Not all will make it to the First-in-the-South S.C. primary one year from now.
Expect Sanders to be there as a democratic socialist, no matter what the party pols say.

Bernie Sanders in 1985 interview: “As a socialist, the word ‘socialism’ doesn’t frighten me”Fox News host Sean Hannity shared a resurfaced video of 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ shockingly candid 1985 interview on Hannity.com, in which the Vermont senator praised Cuba’s communist dictator Fidel Castro and openly called himself a socialist.
“One of the things I think I learned on my trip, you know, as a socialist, the word ‘socialism’ doesn’t frighten me,” said Sanders in the interview.
Sanders also bashed then-President Ronald Reagan and extolled the virtues of socialism in Nicaragua … this was at the height of America’s Cold War against the communist Soviet Union, mind you.
But Castro educated the kids!
“And everybody was totally convinced that Castro was the worst guy in the world, that all the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel Castro,” Sanders said.
“They forgot that he educated the kids, gave them health care, totally transformed the society,” Sanders said at one point. “But just because Ronald Reagan dislikes these people does not mean that the people of their own nation feel the same way.”
At another point, Sanders lamented the lack of effective public relations for the Central American socialist regimes, in that they were drowned out by the U.S. media and couldn’t compete with the “lies” of the Reagan administration
Uncovered video
High praise for socialist and communist regimes
Then-Burlington Mayor Sanders originally gave the interview to a local Vermont media outlet after returning from a trip to Central America. There, he met with Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega to join in bashing the United States and then-President Ronald Reagan.
The video resurfaced during the Democratic Primary battle in 2015 and is again relevant now that he is running for president … again.
You can watch the entire interview right here, if you can stand to listen to Sanders criticize his own country while praising socialist regimes and communist dictators for 24 minutes.
Second try for president
Sen. Bernie Sanders, an Independent who caucuses almost exclusively with the Democratic Party, announced his intention to run for president again in 2020 on Tuesday.
He failed to defeat the Democratic National Committee-backed nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016, despite successfully attracting a loyal following with his promises to support single-payer health care and free higher education. The path to the 2020 nomination won’t be an easy road this time either, given how far left Sanders really is.
Bernie Sanders has exposed himself as an unrepentant anti-American socialist that prefers the utopian mirage of communism over the prosperous reality of capitalism, and he is arguably the worst person on the left to potentially govern this nation as president.
