(8,311 posts)For more history, you'll understand I hope that DU has had several long-standing rules that could get posts removed if you posted supporting independents OTHER than Bernie when a Democratic candidate was running in the same election, because he effectively had made it where no Democratic candidate could win VT but caucused with us.
You could promote a Green running against a Republican only, but not if the Democratic Party was also fielding a candidate in that election.
And also, we are supposed to be reasonably respectful when speaking of him, as we would of others we perceive to be "on the same side". And I do think Bernie is on the same side -- I just strongly disagree with his tactics being what we need when we have a divided Party and Republican majorities in government.
