I'm probably not the first one to think of it, but I like it!!

(27,104 posts)I hardly think Bernie fans calling themselves Sandernistas will sink Bernie.
Or has the whole world truly lost their sense of humor?

(72,790 posts)I support Sanders, but don't feel the need to call myself anything but a supporter.
I don't really need a fancy name to show my support.
I am not a fan of names or labels.

`What we have accomplished in Burlington has not been done in any other city or town in the United States,`` said the Brooklyn, N.Y., native who came to Vermont 18 years ago.
``We have taken on the system, the big money, the newspapers, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party and all their representatives and beat them,`` he said.
The morning speech to supporters at City Hall preceded a formal announcement of his intentions scheduled for Monday in Montpelier.
Vermont elects a governor every two years. This year, Sanders will face Gov. Madeleine Kunin, a Democrat seeking re-election, and Lt. Gov. Peter Smith, the Republican candidate -- but the mayor`s independent bid threatens to throw the November election into the state Legislature.
If the winner does not secure a majority vote, the election must be decided by lawmakers in January.
Sanders, whose supporters are dubbed ``Sanderistas,`` forged an alliance of prgroessives and moderate Democrats in Burlington to gain control of the traditionally Democratic city government.
