I think they are finally realizing that the Democratic Party
has gone down the wrong path and will have a hard time
recovering from the debacle going on in the last few year
and just lashing out.
They're not yet facing the danger of running a an avowed
socialist. I say "avowed" because despite his railings against
capitalists & the wealthy, he's not pushing actual socialism.
And he likes the good life, eg, his summer dacha.
So while it rallies the troops who really do look upon the USSR
as the good old days, It's a problem in the general election.
Is Bernie able or willing to sending a message with broader
appeal?
