I’ve had some conversations about that with Democrat friends of mine. “Bernie is not a Democrat,” they say.
My response: In countries like the old Soviet Union, party membership was restricted. You had to apply for membership. Sometimes you got it. Sometimes you didn’t.
America shouldn’t be like that. If you want to be a Democrat, then you are a Democrat. And if you want to be an Independent today, and Democrat tomorrow, that should be okay too.
In presidential election years, Bernie calls himself a Democrat. Let the primary voters rule on that, not the party bosses.
I have mixed feelings.
I think Bernie supporters are as much against the Deep State as we are, albeit on the other side of the political spectrum.
