More than drama

Typical of BSers.

No? Didn't think so...

Like I said, "Typical of BSers."

It's a very basic question...very central to politics and stuff...

No issue talk forthcoming from you

No issues forthcoming from you...

What are you talking about? Do you know what a double entendre is? It's a phrase that is obviously meant in only one way.

And had nothing better to do with his life. Just like Deez nuts, he wanted to run because all the cool kids were doing it.

If he ran as an Independent the howling would be "he's splitting the ticket!"

So what's your real point here?

are not a staunch" Democrat...I support Hillary but if Bernie wins the nomination I will be damned if I will stay home. I will support OUR nominee.

They care about themselves and their Wall Street cronies.

And they are the post children of the problem!

just like his supporters do.

To the extent he draws more independents and unaffiliated voters, which is a good thing, e had no way of knowing the proportion of that support when he announced.

Many people are not illiterate but still don't really grasp the meanings of words. Several are in this thread and the joke, as they say, is on them.

or abused Democrats, the Democratic party Democratic Party infrastructure.

He hasn't raised any money for down ticket Democrats because he never had any intention to. His aim was to damage the Democratic fund raising structure.

Bernie has no relevance without the Democratic party, and that gnaws at him as his ever increasingly negative campaign indicates. His "purity" is just the fraying cloak of a frustrated autocrat.

Especially the 'purity' comment, because that's what you are calling for!

lol

welcomed him. He gained access to the DNC voter database, the Democratic debate stage, the Democratic Primary infrastructure.

This is the Democratic party. Anyone who is eligible can register to vote, and you can choose a party affiliation. Different states have different rules as to deadlines and affiliation where party is concerned.

You can be a Republican or an Independent and vote in the NY Democratic primary as long as you change your registration. There are no Political Thought Police scrutinizing your affiliation. There is no registration that differentiates between Bernie Democrat and Hillary Democrat.

ANYONE is free to register as a Democrat according to a given states rules. It is The Revolution that is seeking to purge Democrats that IT seems unworthy.

The man is burning bridges. He will not remain a Democrat. This is the Democratic primary. You are free to register as a Democrat and vote in the primary where Democrats select their candidate. Or you can register to vote unaffiliated and wait until the general and vote for whomever you please--just like everyone else.

Bernie is taking his New York Son brain fart and blaming it on voter suppression.

That is, a Democrat on principles. Hillary isn't a small d Democrat.

If he's a small d, why is he a big, big D candidate? Where's the honesty? The integrity? Bueller.....Bueller?

Noun[edit]
small-d democrat ? plural small-d democrats)

A democrat, that is, a person who holds democratic views; not necessarily someone who is a member of a country's "Democratic Party".

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/small-d_democrat

But then, why is he running as a BIG D Democrat? He thinks the party leadership is corrupt. He's suing them.

So why does he want to be the leader of a corrupt party?

Honesty? Integrity? Bueller?.......Bueller?

Democratic Party. Then he joined the Democratic Party. He did not change his affiliation he make his first affiliation in his career with the Party with which he had always caucused

You can't even get the basic facts right, nor can the OP. Nor your candidate for that matter.

The OP claims a 'Party Switcheroo' which of course would also require that he had been in another Party. That's not the case. You are both full of fake.

It's still his New York Son brain fart. Whoever smelt it dealt it.

This absolutely is not the first affiliation in Bernie Sanders' career.

He was a member of the Liberty Union Party from 1971-1977. He ran for the Senate and for Vermont Governor under this ticket. He was the Liberty Union Party Chairman when he resigned in October of 1977.

I saw a youtube video this week where Bern said that he got excited and interested in politics when Fidel overthrew the Cuban government. He loved the revolution. That was a year or two before Fidel allowed the Soviet Union to construct nuclear missile sites in Cuba - you know, the ones with the capability of killing one third of the our population.

Oh no, I'm sounding like a Republican political ad, like the ones they'll run if Bern gets the nomination.

Oops.

... He hasn't taken the whole thing as serious as he could have.

...a lot of anger in the party with moderate republican democrats.

It behooved him to learn. (Or ignore it at his peril.)

to make a name for himself, carry out his vendetta against capitalism, and make some money at the same time. He will be in a good position to accomplish all three. And that capitalistic system that he decries so much will help him achieve his life's ambition to be booted into the 5%. Book sales, speaking engagements, rallies for 2020, TV appearances, gun shows, and the Sanders Foundation that he will set up, raking in $27/mo from his devoted supporters...oh and the Vatican.

You forgot communing with the Dalai Lama.

he became a Democrat. No 'Party switcheroo' because only one Party has ever been involved in Bernie's Congressional career and that's the Democratic Party.

In this way your entire point of view seems confused and misinformed. I'm a Bernie supporting Democrat in a closed Primary State that has yet to vote. Bernie will win this State and many new Democrats are being added to the rolls as Greens and unaffiliated people joint the Democratic Party for Bernie.

Helped let people know with all the states when it was time to switch, regardless of who they voted for

7 months in advance is just rediculous

No whine about that

an outlandishly early deadline for changing Parties. PA is 30 days. Many people try to reform NY's various election failures and eventually they will have to get serious, they have some of the worst turnout in the US and it keep getting worse.....

Sanders may be an "accidental candidate" but someone is feeding him horrid campaign advice--even if winning is NOT his goal.

it becomes a personal responsibility of individuals, just as acquiring Driver's license and know when they expire.

to make sure they understand what needs to be done to accomplish that

He would ru(i)n the US the same way. It takes more than whining to run this nation.
