Steve, you're a nice lad, and I'm sure you mean well - so please try to be a bit more discerning about the rubbish that you read and recite here.
We can all disagree, but let's at least still attempt a vaguely reality-based conversation.
Sanders' continued allegiance to the Democratic Party is the
only reason why it remains a viable political institution.
If he left and ran as an independent, you boys would never remotely sniff power again.
He is doing the Party a tremendous favour by still enduring its nonsense.
And as for 'badmouthing' the Party: during the 2016 Primary, he famously refrained from personal attacks, save those of relevance to policy, like Hillary's Goldman Sachs performances.
During the debate, he famously refused to discuss her almost-certainly illegal destruction of thousands of emails of public interest - a perfectly legitimate issue to raise, and one for which she was, accordingly, completely ill-prepared for during the general election.
And, after the DNC tipped the scales so blatantly in Hillary's favour that the chair was in effect fired for it, he nonetheless campaigned tirelessly for her (far more effectively than she herself could manage) without so much as a peep in protest.
Now, if you have a substantive critique that you'd like to share, in the manner that
@LinekersLegs sometimes provides, then by all means - fire away.
But please, think it over before regurgitating nonsense like that.
You can do better.
