Of course he hasn't "sold out" anyone, because he wasn't theirs to begin with. It's not his fault if a few million people self-hypnotized themselves into thinking that a DP presidential candidate could be anything but a willing, faithful, and devoted servant of corporate capital. No sell-out at all -- he's just being a Democrat.
