next congressional race?
Just conjecture on my part.
I know he is listed as (I) for his next race and I haven't seen the media things your OP references...

when he said Indys are ignored in the media. But I see no reason why he'd remain a D now.

The I's to win the presidency, but you know since "they" are not pure enough "they" might sit this one out. Great job £hillsters!

pure enough, not worthy to even be dems, even though they were dems long before Sanders.

it.

... to run again for his senate seat in Vermont as an (I) Independent.

A fair-weather Democrat ... for as long as it suits HIS needs.

... that you can't suck and blow at the same time. Throughout his campaign, he has been the "political outsider" (who has never had a career outside of politics), and he's tried to woo Democrats to support him while still railing about how corrupt Democrats are.

... that he has a difficult time listening.

... during the debates. When BS spoke, Hill watched him and listened, jotted down notes. When she spoke, Bernie spent most of his time trying to get the attention of the moderators - "Can I say something? Do I get to respond to this? Can I answer this?"

I get the distinct impression that Bernie rarely listens to anyone while they speak. He's one of those people who is too busy thinking about what he wants to say to be bothered listening to anyone else.

and your candidate is the fair weather dem,has she ever

acted like a true democrat?

This looks suspiciously like a very prejudiced decision on the part those trying to relabel things. We have no respect for each other anymore. This drives people away, it does not bring people together.

much of it or it's just coincidence. I hope so......

Still think someone or some stealth group is relabeling. Sanders never backed up from the socialist democrat label. My trust level for CNN/MSNBC is mighty low. You said you saw it and I do trust that. Another supporter used it. OK I am out of the loop. I intend to become I myself after the primary. So I have no trouble with I. Just a surprise. I am really sorry about all the overt attacks recently. Was reading about the Bernie FB groups being taken down. Seems so unnecessary. Makes me sad. This actions certainly are not about unity!! or democracy. I hope some serious research is done on this election cycle and a book written.

Am watching the PBS program on national parks. Monday night at 8 pm. It is a new series. I do not know how many program but really good and worthwhile. Check it out next week!

Hillary campaign.

just that readers apparently are now noticing.

has been from the beginning.

Jesus, this ignorance is just astounding.

news organizations have used this with Bernie and any other Independent of the two major parties for like the last 50 years.

Though NPR at times does, and at times does not, but they forget party often.

MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, in that state it means, I know the translation is needed they are part of the PARTY MAINTAINED ROLLS

And you know what. This should be the standard across every state in the Union. The State, as in the Registrar, or the BOE or any other name you want, should have no hand in maintaining those PARTY ROLLS.

Is this now Crystal clear?

Sanders could be a Democrat. He choses not to be one.

I wish at times he ran as an independent, which he will not. Your party needs to wake the fuck up...but then again, after the endorsement from Charles Kock, yours is a chamber of commerce right wing party. So enjoy it. You still need the despised left if only to win. These tactics will make sure more than a few will stay home in November.

not what he is running as. So I use AP style...

" Do I have to register as a Democrat, Republican, Independent or some other party in Vermont?"

"No. There is no party registration in Vermont. "

https://www.sec.state.vt.us/elections/frequently-asked-questions/voter-registration.aspx

you got it. As I said, it is manual of style.

The other State Senator is registered with the PARTY. Which is the choice for D.

And for the record EVERY state should do the same, Parties should handle those party registrations.

and he is running in the Democratic primary.

George Wallace was a Democrat, but he was listed as AIP (American Independent Party) in the '68 election.

John Anderson was a Republican, but he was listed as "Independent" in the '80 election.

but the manual is quite clear. Until he JOINS THE STATE PARTY, he he has not. (And for the record I don't blame him).

It is quirk in the damn manual of style. Don't shoot me, shoot the AP slylists. I am not seeing a great conspiracy here, because I know it is the manual and media has been referring alternatively as independent ruining for the Democratic nomination, or running for the democratic nomination.

With Clinton they have been using Secretary Clinton, (I do use the (D), or simply running for the democratic nomination the first time they come in an article.

Personally I think the AP style will have to come with a new way of doing this, becuase I doubt Sanders will be the last I to run. But they don't ask me, but will gladly take my money every year.

If it is happening then it is most likely to do with the Correct the Record and the HRC camp's attempt to delegitimize him. As a Dem on the DU, I want him top stay to the end, since right now neither person has enough to win.

it has not one thing to do with Correct the Record...

I was asking because there are no links. Correct the Record is just the tip of a concerted effort that has been going on since the start with the fake Bernie Bro meme. So I am just using that to refer to the Machiavellian propaganda arm of the HRC campaign. I would also be worried if they start showing him as an I more since people may use the I as a reason to kick people that support him from places that are supposed to support Democrats only. He will always be a dem in my heart.


I could only find...

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., spoke with Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.

http://writingexplained.org/ap-style/ap-style-party-affiliation

The other way is just (I-Conn)

Both are correct, That website is not the complete guide (they want you to buy the book, duh). In San Diego most press uses it with the parenthesis, why I do, readers are used to it.

The OP said Why are some people and news orgs now using a (I) after his name now and calling him an Indie?.

I could not find the source of this.

Some are not.

That is what I tried to answer

There are some evil things going on, but when people start seeing Ill everywhere, that is a problem as well

I wanted to see it supposedly being used on Bernie right now.

For you.

This question was for the OP asking if they had proof? I did a targeted search on google, and could not find any results. It seems this could just be a lie.

Or any tribune paper if this is widespread through tribune. Reuters as well. This would be the first line when candidates are addressed.

And I responded to the OP originally since this is well silly

I am amazed how many of her supporters are fine with her racist attacks on Obama, but these are the same people using racism and sexism as an attack on the followers of an old jewish civil-right's activist... so I am pretty sure they are anniversiry-rights-activists (they only care about people's rights on special occasions).

And will continue to be once he realizes he has lost the Dem nomination.

I typed in >FEC Bernie Sanders< and clicked on the second result.

Same reason you see all the similar posts emanating from Camp Bansalot here.

Because they use their last title until/unless they get a new title (like POTUS). So Bernie is Senator Sanders (I-VT) and Hillary is Secretary Clinton.

Thus has it ever been so.

he has yet to formally inform the Senate that he is now a Democrat. He is still listed as a Democrat in the Senate website:

They may not answer truthfully, but at least they have more of a clue about why they do what they do.
