Mediaite reports:

“Senator Harris, one of the most popular Democrats in America right now is the guy who won here in 2016, Bernie Sanders, describes himself as a Democratic socialist,” Doocy said, and asked, “To compete in New Hampshire, do you have to––in the Democratic primary––do you have to move more toward the Democratic socialist part of the party?”

“The people of New Hampshire will tell me what’s required to compete in New Hampshire, but I will tell you I am not a Democratic socialist,” Harris replied. “I believe that what voters do want is, they want to know that whoever is going to lead understands that in America today, not everyone has equal opportunity to, and access to, a path to success.”

Bernie Sanders, of course, is not a Democrat and is therefore not “one of the most popular Democrats in America.” He is the longest-serving independent in congressional history.

1. Bernie is not a Democrat
2. The kicking and deriding Kamala goes full force. Fuck them.

1. The full force deriding going on here is against Sanders who is ahead of Harris in the latest

tracking polls. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html#polls

2. He is not a democrat

Ergo deriding Harris cause of him is just rude
And since when is realclearpolitics a barometer for Bernie supporters? Unless of course the poll that day gives them the answer they want?

3. He is seeking the Democratic nomination and I trust that he will meet the bar to do so.

Also, take that up with Realclearpolitics and other polling outfits.

4. The best response to aquestion like this was given by FDR:

"I am a Christian, an American, and a Democrat--in that order. Nothing else."

5. Wow, I have a huge problem with his quote...

All these 3 things come before Father, Husband, and Friend? I guess I am made of different cloth.

7. He was referring to his political philosophy. eom

8. I am not argueing with you

just stating my opinion...if it was "just" political, why "Christian"? There is supposed to be a clear cut separation of religion and faith.

6. Why Does Democratic Underground Call Sanders A Democrat?

He has his own page within the topic "Democrats" and everything?
