      What an idiotic statement. Bernie Sanders is always been an independent and has always voted that way. He has voted with the Republicans when things are needed and looks good he has voted with the Democrats when things are needed and looked good. But he also recognizes who the super fucked up ones are currently. And right now that ain’t the democrats.

        His voting record shows Bernie votes with Dems 95% of the time, one of the highest consistently Dem voting representatives there are. So yes, he may be an ‘Independent’ but his voting record says that’s absolutely not the case.

          Could it possibly be because 95% of the Republican vote put forward is absolute dog shit and goes against everything that he represents? No that possibly couldn’t be it. Not at all.

            Other Dems vote for it at a higher rate, so I don’t know. Saying one side is all good or one side is all bad is the entire problem.

              Whoever said that the Democrats were good? Just because some of their legislation aligns better with what he’s trying to accomplish doesn’t mean anything. Just like I voted for republicans in the past however almost all of them since the formation of the I love the Big Orange dick organization have gone to the point where I’ll vote almost straight Democrat at this point. Because yes they are better regardless of what your personal thoughts and feelings are they are better.
