winning a Senate seat as a Democrat then leaving the party, or never belonging to the Democratic party and running for the Democratic nomination for president.

He's smart enough to know he wasn't going to be elected president in a three-way race. Who knows what the hell Nader was thinking, except he thought he could convince America that republicans and Democrats were one and the same.

What's more important? The label? Or what you actually do and how you vote?

I support Sanders still, always have and probably always will. He does not deserve the snark, backbiting and actual hatred he gets here on DU.

And Jake Tapper let's her get away with it, not even bothering to ask her what "extreme" thing it is the Dems have asked her to do that she does not agree with.

And he needs to call out the "bothsiderism" that was being parroted. It's not the democrats who have tried to hold the debt hostage.

based on the lowish number of recs. He told it like it is regarding Sinema and Manchin. He's been better for us than either of them. What's more important? the D label, or what you actually do?
