12. No need to apologize. It just baffles me that a registered Dem supports Bernie who is NOT a Dem.

As a Democrat, I've done my due diligence and researched Sanders' background...and found him sorely lacking. Then again, I'm a PoC so I might have a different view than you on what I look for in politicians before I step back to review the whole political picture.

Fact remains, this continuous infighting started and kept alive by so-called 'Berniecrats' - now in my Democratic State - does nothing for the causes Bernie supporters want, but it sure does help Republicans gain footing - just as they hope for.

I stick with the KISS-method: Keep It Simple, Stupid, and subscribe to the "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem". So in order to have any chance of those issues you've noted to come to fruition, you don't attack Democrats who are your best chance of getting them through. You attack the problem, i.e. Republicans.
