(10,345 posts)he's caucusing with them though.
his record and actions are more representative than the simple label of "democrat".
after all, Hillary is a democrat, yet many people feel that shes a corporatist, shapeshifting, centrist who plays too friendly with wall st to be serious about her claims to regulate it.
and those feelings about her are based on her actions. not her label.
so really, if Hillary really is all that and she is supposed to represent a true democrat, would you support that kind of democrat? is that person really representative of the democratic party? are they just wearing the label for tradition?
who knows? perhaps she's a righty in lefty clothing like some believe and perhaps she's a true democrat and that makes her actions acceptable? I dunno.
In the end, actions are more important and Bernie wins that for me.
