It’s you who doesn’t get it. It’s irrelevant that he isn’t a democrat. He’s perfectly justified to criticize them in any way he wants. He played by the DNC’s rules - if you don’t like the rules, change them - otherwise, STFU. Your blathering above isn’t even coherent. You’re more concerned with bullshit about who’s…

Holy shit you changed your handle, now my previous comment is irrelevant. I have truly been pewned.
Vermont does not have party registration. You are requiring him to do something that isn’t even possible in his state. He would have to move to a different state to register as a Democrat. He caucuses with the democrats in the senate always has and always will. What if your state was more like Vermont and didn’t have…

Are we pretending that the Democratic party hasn’t been sucking at the teat of the corporations for decades now and basically give zero fucks about working people except to exploit our vote whilst doing not a fucking thing for us with its neoliberal policies?
“Let me tell you, as far as American elections go, history tells you that white people are gonna white.”
It’s this kind of stuff that turned so many people away from Hillary.
I find it fascinating how Democrats love shouting down the guy who would have smashed Trump to tiny bitty pieces in the general election. Hopefully y’all can primary us another “I promise you no great changes and more of the same” politician in 2020. Clearly that’s what the swing voters want.
