Bernie Sanders Was #1 Most Liberal Member of the Senate (Original Post)

(45,251 posts)1. The problem with ranking Senators is that the Senate is conservative body,
especially since the DLC/Third Way types took over the Democratic Party. Therefore, labeling someone the most liberal Senator is not saying a lot. However, Senator Sanders' record is liberal--and lifelong, not just since 2015.
