(12,625 posts)He's a senator from Vermont, right? Vermonters know he's an Independent and they elected him with over 70% of the vote in his last senate race. Vermonters don't hate Independents. They like it when folks from different parties work together for the good of all.
My advice to the anti-Bernie folks....Even though some Democratic leaders welcome Bernie's help and support, just hope and pray Bernie stops working with the Democratic Party and takes all his awful, far-left Socialist voters with him. Purity, not unity. That should be our mantra.
I realize over 40% of voters are Independents, but our party will attract most of them so long as we're successful in getting rid of Bernie.
Imagine....he's even in favor of Medicare for All. I don't understand why, because things are great just the way they are. Drug prices are quite low, health insurance is extremely affordable. It simply can't get any more perfect. Bernie should sit down, shut up and be grateful we have the best health care system on the face of the earth.
