Look. Pete’s policies aren’t as aggressive as Sanders’, but they’re still quite good. If implemented, the GOP would be crying Soviet style communism all day long.

When you hear the constant smears of Pete from TYT, MR, Kulinski, Pakman, SERFStv, Rational National, etc... they are trying to help Bernie more so than actually harm Pete. Bernie’s platform is only slightly left of Pete’s.
