From the link:

Ultimately, the question is not “Will Bernie Sanders be elected president?” We’ve had many men elected president who have done little to impact the long arc of our nation’s course through history. The real question is, “Will the Sanders campaign change the course of American history?” And that question is one that every citizen can help answer, by how they engage in the months ahead.

It's as if they didn't even read the article.

They failed to connect with the huge numbers of Americans that agree with Bernie's positions.

One idiot wanted Bernie's socialism to be associated with Cuba's or Venezuela's.

Every website I have encountered is full of paid sockpuppets.
