Bernie Sanders’ last stand for his fading presidential dreams rests on a final attack on emerging front-runner Elizabeth Warren from the Left. Despite them endorsing the same multitrillion-dollar programs to nationalize vast swaths of the economy, Sanders has lambasted Warren as a “capitalist,” which the Massachusetts senator herself has conceded. Sanders says that he is not.

“I mean, Elizabeth considers herself, if I got the quote correctly, to be a capitalist to her bones. I don’t,” Sanders told ABC on Sunday. “And the reason I am not is because I will not tolerate for one second the kind of greed and corruption and income and wealth inequality and so much suffering that is going on in this country today, which is unnecessary.”
