Yes, this is actually good news.

debatable. it's possible the dnc hijinx against ol' berny cost cankles more votes than if he'd just run as independent.

what effect his candidacy in the dumbocrap 2020 primary might be is unknowable.

Are the Democrats planning to run someone other than Bernie for US Senate this year? Can they?
My guess is that even if the Democrats can replace Bernie as their US Senate candidate, they won’t.

I agree. The Dems are cutting their free stuff for all losing strategy. Meanwhile, republicans kept obamare for the non ruling class, won’t build a wall, and how many Syrian rapefugees and H1b visas?
Changes have only come through exec orders, which feels good, but isn’t real change.
But there are sooo many jobs, all minimum wage, from the indeed postings I see. We are in terrible trouble. Time to hunker down and forget a political savior is here or is coming.

Bernie easily wins reelection in 2018 regardless. This just gives him more leverage with the Dems in 2020 to support his agenda.
