Darth, do you think Bernie should be a full-time Democratic Party member?

No. I think adhering to labels for the sake of counting is a terrible way of assessing who is/isn’t with you on specific issues. Go on their behavior and their record. And that’s not to say Bernie is perfect in this regard - but he’s still one of the most progressive Senators we have.

Blue dog Democrats disappointed the fuck out of me during the Bush years. Yeah, they had D next to their names, but they voted nearly 80% with that fucker and helped him pass shitty legislation.
