(10,495 posts)Bernie and many of us have the right to disagree with the direction of the Party. I like Joe Biden and so does Bernie, but we can disagree with him! The direction of the Party has been a losing one. If you do what you have always done, you will get what you always got. Many Progressives and Independents are tired of Republican light. Corporate money is not the answer, the quid pro quo's are ruining the country and our Party.
This idea that Bernie must be a registered Democrat to have an opinion is pure BS. He doesn't join the Party because then it is tougher to criticize. He ran as a Democrat to avoid then third party division that would guarantee a republican victory, something he did with the blessing of the Democrat Party for the same reason.
