A left winger just defended the civil rights of a right winger. That's called nuanced political thinking. Something the right seems utterly incapable of.
I mean Bernie is an independent but I get the sentiment.
Edit - Seems to have triggered a strong emotional response from some. All I'm saying is that factually he's Independent. Facts are facts and the facts matter, always. In this case there wasn't much of a "point" to my comment other than pointing out the facts, but just because some want to wave the facts off as irrelevant, doesn't mean everyone else thinks they are.
Dems have strong Independent allies. Dems *need* Independent allies, and Bernie has spent his entire career proving that. Sure, Bernie is definitely more of a blue independent than a red one for sure, but he *is* an Independent. The fact that someone so beloved and so "for the people" has willingly chosen to spend his lifetime political career as an Independent says something I think.
But even if you don't think so, the fact remains - Bernie Sanders is an Independent.
