Cuz there's nothing democratic about Cuban socialism. By the way, which socialist states are also democratic? I can't think of any.

recognize that Castro was a brutal and bloody dictator. Is that the kind of socialism that Sanders advocates, the ruthless execution of the class enemy?

I understand the double standard where dumb things Bernie said a long time ago are unforgivable but dumb things other candidates said a long time ago are just fine.

But I'm specifically curious about what you think is "ironic".

Obviously, today his view has changed - he thinks he has a shot at a presidential nom from the Democratic Party. But if we don't come around to support him, look for more 3rd party b.s.

Has he EVER spoken in a way to educate people WHY they shouldn't vote 3rd party in this country?
