If you are concerned with labels, you might bristle at the notion of a registered Independent jockeying for control over the direction of the Democratic Party and there were certainly some in the party apparatus that expressed precisely this sentiment during the 2016 campaign cycle, said Lynda Tran, a Democratic strategist.
But if youre focused on policy ideas over party labels you might welcome the inclusion of his voice, and frankly other voices too, at a time when the Democratic Party is under intense attack and working on the path forward."
At the end of the day, Bernie Sanders may be a registered Independent, but he has always caucused with Democrats and there is no question he continues to enjoy strong support among many members of the Democratic Party, Tran added.
The DNC has sought to harness energy from Sanders and unite the party after last years divisions."
I think that's what you mean right?
