“In the Democratic contenders thus far I see an aging virago motivated by a seething mass of resentments and a cold conviction of absolute entitlement who, if she lived in any Italian village, would be healthily shunned by everyone and all. In the USA she is the equivalent of an aristocrat. Bernie Sanders is not the equivalent of an aristocrat, but he would like to be one. How to describe him: His only character comes from the character of the ideology that he espouses; he is a pair of spectacles and an unattractive speaking-voice uttering platitudes, vicious ones, indeed, that were already self-deconstructing and self-damning in 1848.” – The Thinking Housewife
