For what it's worth, their platform is an interesting bridge which does make the concept of 'socialism' more palatable to those who have only heard of the term in reference to Stalin and Mao. They're the entrance to a pipeline. And while I think it's worth investigating and IMO ultimately a good thing, it's also important to understand that Bernie is not a socialist in any meaningful interpretation of the term - they're pro-capitalism, what they want is social capitalism. They only aim to fix the symptoms, not the root cause.
