Socialist? Independent? Democrat?

Bernie Sanders seems to be the real thing, but that’s not politically popular these days.  His chances are slim, but he may still have an impact.

Bernie Sanders, a liberal Democrat

(A label with a dire caveat)

Knows that Liberal is out

As the pundits all shout,

They don’t see much future in that.

Will Bernie and Hillary fight?

His supporters hope that he might

At a minimum be able 

To get his views on the table

And slow down her drift to the right.
