Bernie Sanders an independent/nonpartisan/socialist politician Not a Democrat?



An independent or nonpartisan politician is an individual politician not affiliated to any political party. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent. Bernie Sanders, the independent, self-described socialist senator from Vermont.

The republican run top 1% Media Giants would want you to think Bernie Sanders is a Democrat because every vote for him will go against Hillary! Bernie will get near 100% positive media from the dictating high authority.

When the Democrats nominate Hillary he will run as Independent that will give the Presidency to the Republicans whom ever the clown parade decide, the easiest to be bought and manipulated like bush and the dark side!

Bernie has already said he will NOT run as an Independent if he doesn't win the Democratic Primary.

Bernie is a man of his word, always has been.

End of story.

Do you have some place warm to stay? Do you feel safe? You do? Good, now listen, those voices in your head, they are not your friends....


In all seriousness, have a great day.

Let's hope the debates don't break out into mindless violence. That WOULD be upsetting.

1. bernie said he will not run as a third party if he loses the nom, but

2. he is not going to lose the nom

3. this country is trending left in a big way, so trump is not winning the wh

4. therefore, the only possibility left is that presidemt sanders (running as a DEM) will be in the wh

see? no worries!

If he wanted to run as an independent, I don't think he would be messing around with the Democratic primary. But maybe he's run as an independent in the general election if you ask him nicely.

He's a member of the Democratic caucus, he vowed from day one that if he didn't win the nomination, he would actively support the Democratic nominee, and do everything possible to prevent a Republican from becoming president.
