[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]The list of affiliated parties is outright scary. The "Sandinista National Liberation Front"? The Sinn Féin?

I hope Sanders campaign can get that fixed. This is not what I expected when I went there to learn more.[/quote]

Sinn Féin holds seats in both Ireland and Northern Ireland. I'd hardly think they are controversial. Particularly since President Bill Clinton welcomed Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Féin, to the White House.

Apart from their violent history (fortunately already renounced), both parties are much more to the left that anything the US has ever seen. When I check the list of affiliates parties I don't find any of the "socialdemocrats" who've been running Europe for decades -- they are the one I was expecting to find. Instead I found parties that most of my friends in Latin America and Europe would consider scary in government.

What can I say. I am surprised.[/quote]

Just to clarify one point: I wouldn't be scared by finding one such party in a broad coalition government, which is often what happens in other countries. But that's very different from being THE governing party.[/quote]
