    You are a sycophant for the broken 2 party system. He votes in line with democrats because it is the lesser of two EVILS. He still voices his opinions that are much farther left than the democrats. If you think he is a Democrat you haven’t actually been paying attention. Maybe the democrats are taking ownership of him and his followers? That would be pretty cool because it might actually pull one of the parties and the country toward sanity, which was his entire life’s goal.

      Wow that is a hell of a leap from what I said. I’d like you to point out a single line where I showed any support for the two party system.

      There are also plenty of progressives in the Democratic party. It isn’t a rock solid checklist that you either fully fill out or you aren’t one. See: AOC and others.

      I have only joined the democrats to stop the lesser of two evils. My critiques of them and reasons to be independent are exhaustive. But let’s call a spade a spade here. Bernie has been a Democrat for almost 10 years now. And that’s largely due to his very successful efforts to push the party further left, which is a great thing he did.
