Long, long, LONG history of Americans rejecting socialism of any type, even in heavily liberal areas. And, from what I've seen, while he is leading in the polls, the majority of his support is from 18-29 year olds, which is a demographic that you can dependably rely on to not show up to vote. It's been the same story the last 1500 times these kinds of things have played out. Why the hell would it be any different this time?
