how he deals with the negative connotations around democratic socialism in America.

Sanders also said that over the past three decades the richest 1 percent has added $21 trillion to their wealth compared to a $900 billion drop in wealth for the bottom half of the country.
"This is not utopian. This is what we can accomplish and which already exists in a number of other countries.

And that is what my campaign is all about."
