Its on both sides - Bernie Sanders was an independent until he ran. He doesn't give a crap about any of the normal constituencies. I'm not knocking independents, I am one, but on the other side of Bernie, he's even farther left than the radical wing of the dems, who really are socialists.
Trump is exciting to some people, for sure, but I remain skeptical that either Trump or Sanders could accomplish any of what they say, given the constitution. Bernie would face a congress united against him even worse than Obama. Trump might fare slightly better, but not much.
To me they both represent the fantasy that some hero will break up this stalemate and stranglehold by the rich. I wish. but I doubt it.
