I know you would like a private club to pay yourself on the back and say see how great we are but the fact is anyone can be. Democrat regardless of what else they do at the variance in how they identify. If not you and your privilege will endanger it. Bernie caucuses and votes as a democrat. Sorry you cannot handle that he calls himself a socialist, a socialist democrat or an independent but many, many more people on both sides call themselves independents because they couldn't stomach how their parties got hijacked. The republicans by religious fanatics and the democrats by corporations. Both parties looked very different 30 years ago. People are pissed about it obviously. I will say this. If you keep pointing out he's not a democrat then you look foolish. If he ran as an independent then Hillary would've been GUARANTEED a LOSS in the general election. It would've been a toss up between Bernie and the republican.
