(11,945 posts)What does the Democratic Party stand for? I think it stands for what Bernie Sanders stands for. These DLC people, these third-wayers, are a hybrid between Democrat and Republican. This is why I've long considered Hillary Clinton a DINO. But I may be holding Democrats to a standard that some of them can no longer meet. Fortunately, there are still plenty of progressive Dems, and those are the ones I consider real Dems.
As for Bernie's relationship with the Democrats, it is entirely friendly and in alignment. He caucuses with the Dems and votes with them.
I'll bet you're itching to call him a "socialist." You seem to be into names and labels, Nance. That, to me, is a substitute for thought. You owe it to yourself as a voting American to always look deeply into the issues and the candidates' motivations. Don't stop at the label. Look below the surface.
