In reply to the discussion: Hillary is not a Democrat, she's a Moderate Republican like Obama and Bill [View all]onenote
(46,011 posts)I"ve made it very clear that whatever labels anyone puts on themselves or others, the following facts are clear: Sanders and Clinton are both running for the nomination of the Democratic party and both have the support of lots of folks who identify themselves as, and have spent money and time knocking on doors for Democrats, including (in my case) for every Democratic presidential nominee since Humphrey (even though before he got the nomination I was a supporter first of Bobby and then of Gene).
Just as its ridiculous for the OP to suggest that Clinton isn't a Democrat (and by extension her supporters aren't supporting a Democrat and maybe aren't Democrats themselves), its ridiculous to suggest that because Bernie doesn't identify himself as a Democrat (although the vast majority of Democrats in Vermont have been voting for him since the 1980s) he isn't worthy of support from those people who do consider themselves as Democrats.
This entire she's this and he's that crap is revolting on both sides.
