Much like the Republican Party has degrees, so does the Democratic Party. Most Republicans have a difficult time seeing that since they think that even the slightest bit of left is the MOST EXTREME LEFT EVAR!
Sanders stands well outside of the Democratic establishment on campaign finance, financial regulation, nationalization of industries, the military/war, education, and even healthcare (in spite of his defense of Obama's attempt).

Not really. One thing we constantly hear is that Obamacare is just the first step.. but that the goal is a single payer system that Sanders has supported from the beginning. Sanders is saying what most Democrats wish for, but can't get re-elected by saying they are for it.
With actual effort the goal could've been acquired. It wasn't. That's only one of the list though, and I don't exactly look to you for objectivity on Democrats. I've mostly heard "just the first step" from Republicans declaring that the healthcare plan is the end of the world.

What I want to do is to make sure that we fully repeal Obamacare. This will be one of the largest spending initiatives we will ever see in our country. And also, it will take away choice from the American people. - Michele Bachmann
At this point I don't think people who are against the ACA even know what they are talking about anymore.
Things in the comment section of an article about how Michelle Obama thinks people in the US should eat healthier:
I think its discriminating that a black person is forcing their ways of eating on me...thats exactly what it would be if this was a white First lady forcing their ways of eating on other races...discriminatingThis vile devil worshipping Ape is itching to push GMOs down our childrens throats. This isn't about the kids health. This is about government sneaking in our childrens lunch boxes A power grab is what it is.I don't want to eat like a black person. Do I have a choice here?Wiki says her mother was a stay at home mom until she went to High School - guess she just sat on the couch with her kids eating fried chicken and H20 melonOdd that American kids can't get what they want to eat in the school cafeteria, but they can go to the nurse's office and get any kind of condom they want.Democrats believe too much in education. They don't have the brains to absorb it so what does it matter?
