No reason for them to do that. Just bide their time. All the underlying trends are in their favor.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are

Communist draft Sanders to bolster party
Why don't they just come out and call it it what it is, Vladimir Sanders. Has to tell supporters to stop the violence. Just too far left for me.
