incorrect. Sanders joined the Democratic Party having formerly been independent of party. He had no party. He joined one, but he did not 'change parties'.
What Party do you claim he was a member of?

This Party asked me to vote for many people who spewed opposition to my basic rights, all of then claimed to be Democrats, that includes Obama. Never voting in any primary for such a candidate again.

If Hillary wanted my vote this year, she should have thought of that at some point during her long years of opposing equality.
