Bernie is doing what EVERY elected Democrat SHOULD be doing.
It i HIS job, and also the job of every elected Democrat.
If not, I might as well vote Republican:

15 Fundamental Differences Between Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and The Republicans:

2. Sanders has supported gay rights since 40 years ago. Clinton and Republicans have not.

3. Sanders wants to end the prohibition of marijuana. Clinton & The Republicans do not.

4. Sanders wants to end the death penalty. Clinton and Th Republicans do not.

5. Sanders wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Clinton and the Republicans do not.

6. Sanders wants to break up the biggest banks. Clinton and The Republicans do not.

7. Sanders voted against the Wall Street bailout. Clinton and the Republicans (and too many "Democrats) did not.

8. Sanders introduced legislation to overturn Citizens United. Clinton and The Republicans did not.

9. Sanders refuses to accept money from super PACs. Clinton and the Republicans do not.

10. Sanders supports a single-payer healthcare system. Clinton and The Republicans do not.

It's odd how Bernie is MORE of a Democrat than 95% of the so-called "Democrats" in DC;
yet he and his supporters are constantly herranged with this shallow canard.

Bernie is more of a "DEMOCRAT" than most people with the "D" after their name.

Anybody who claims they are against the reinstatement of an updated Glass-Steagall is no Democrat.
(I could go on for about 20 major issues, but you get the point.)
