40. Well look at what their leader himself has said about the democratic party

"You don’t change the system from within the Democratic Party.”

“My own feeling is that the Democratic Party is ideologically bankrupt.”

“We have to ask ourselves, ‘Why should we work within the Democratic Party if we don’t agree with anything the Democratic Party says?’”

Can Bernie Sanders Win the Love of a Party He Scorns?
The long, troubled history of Bernie Sanders and the 'ideologically bankrupt' party whose White House nod he now seeks.

Its all a scam on Bernies part if you ask me. We will know for sure when Hillary wins the nomination and Bernie turns his back on us and walks away. I fully expect him and 90% of his backers to do this.

We already got a preview of this with their walkout at the JJ dinner.
