Mother Jones magazine profiled renegade Vermont socialist and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ early years in politics in a piece published Tuesday. Along with the article, Mother Jones also published an image of a column that Sanders wrote in an alternative Vermont newspaper in 1972. It’s about sexual fantasies and gender roles within heterosexual relationships and it’s quite strange.
