Regardless of what we think is optimal. The continuation of the current policies will lead us in a negative direction. sanders proposes the same/similar policies that FDR proposed. So while you may not agree with sanders and think that there is a better direction (which there probably is) none of the candidates are proposing anything that will actually work except sanders be it sub optimal or not. so I don't really understand why you think it will wreck the economy when history has shown that his policy's will generally strengthen the economy.
You won't find me happy with any of the candidates. But BS is an exponent of a very malvolent populism clad in unreal promises and socioeconomic policies of hidden threat.
The problem with socialism is that it does not "actually work" at all well. As "history shows" it will generally take quite some time to ruin a country as governments can access relatively large amounts of money to patch over the problems. The longer this takes the greater the imbalances and lager damage to populations becomes.
