In reply to the discussion: So Sanders is going back to running as an Indy for his senate seat. [View all]Voltaire2
(13,012 posts)"Vermont resident Jon Svitavsky announced on July 5 that he is challenging Sen. Bernie Sanders in his upcoming re-election in 2018. In his most recent race for re-election, Sanders won over 71 percent of the vote and the Democratic Party didnt bother to run a candidate. In the 2016 presidential primaries, Sanders received over 86 percent of the vote in Vermont. Among the small percentage of people who voted for Hillary Clinton in the state was Svitavsky, a homeless shelter director who is beginning to receive support from other disgruntled Clinton supporters across the country."

Of course I'll just guess you don't live in Vermont so yours is an idle threat, but besides the fact that Sanders is enormously popular there, Svitavsky is hugely problematic. Voting TEAM D is not always the right thing to do. The other announced candidate for the Democratic Primary is Folasade Adeluola, who doesn't even live in Vermont.
