"Is to actually win to the presidency and I am not looking forward to a scenario where it comes down to Donald Trump with his nostalgia for the social order of the 1950s and Bernie Sanders with the nostalgia for the revolutionary politics of the 1960s. This is not about what coups were happening in the 1970s or '80s. This is about the future. This is about 2020. We are not going to survive for six need an we're certainly not going to win by reliving the Cold War and we're not going to win these critical House and Senate races if people in those races have to explain why the nominee of the Democratic Party is telling people to look at the bright side of the Castro regime."
Definitely an interesting soundbite. And it's not just the Bernie Bros doing it, it's the official campaign pages.
I do want to add, though, that the whole thing with Bernie and Castro is also bullshit. As Sanders said after the debate, it is no different than what Obama said about Cuba.
