I'm Not Sure Jeffrey St. Clair Gets Bernie Sanders, ATMO

Is St. Clair being willfully obtuse here in the service of questionable snark? Comedy? Satire? Parody?  Not sure, atmo, but surely St. Clair understands Sanders is a boring centrist politician with quotidian centrist policy positions and beliefs, and being oh so offended Sanders is not a ravaging leftist or much of a leftist at all makes you sounda dumb.  Right?  Especially if you are supposed to have a more rational and nuanced view of American politics than an addle-headed teabagger or scuzz-guzzling establishment media village idiot?  I mean, I hope so.
