We here at the DailyKos have pointed out for a long time how Bernie seems to be not conducive to and interested in helping other Democrats getting elected. It is truly confounding that he seems so uninterested in helping other Democrats get elected, because were he to win the nomination the only way he could get anything accomplished from his big, ambitious agenda is if he has a more friendly Senate and House (which means, MORE DEMOCRATS in both bodies). So, we have watched with relative dismay as Bernie has time and time again not done his part in that supposed mutual “partnership”.

No Ranging from his dismissive “We’ll see” when asked when he would start fundraising for Democrats, as he explicitly agreed to in writing when he signed on with the DNC to use our fundraising databases, infrastructure, monies, to never going out of his way to mention or introduce local politicians who are trying to wrestle seats in Congress away from entrenched Republicans in the various cities and states he holds his large rallies in, missed opportunities as that would help us all.

Now Hillary is saying what we’ve been complaining about as one of the biggest failings of Bernie’s candidacy, in her sit-down interview with ABC News: Bernie is not helpful when it comes to electing DEMOCRATS to Congress.

when it comes to electing DEMOCRATS to Congress.

Elizabeth Warren is helpful

Sherrod Brown is helpful

Al Franken is helpful

Kirsten Gillibrand is helpful

Bernie, in this important campaign season, is missing in action when it comes to helping select Progressives, or any kind of Democrats, to Congress

Bernie, RIGHT NOW you are NOT an Independent. Right now, you are a DEMOCRAT. Temporary as it may be, you have signed onto it, have submitted papers to that effect with all the states. You are NOT an Independent right about now, you are vying for the DEMOCRATIC nomination, and you are taking part in the party goodness by using the DNC structure.
