Is Bernie Sanders committed to the success of the Democratic Party?

The Sanders campaign's lawsuit against the DNC and unwillingness to fund-raise for the party have me questioning his commitment to the success of the Democratic Party.
Here are some of his past quotes and behavior. You decide.


"It would be hypocritical of me to run as a Democrat because of the things I have said about the party."

“Why should we work within the Democratic Party if we don’t agree with anything the Democratic Party says?”

“You don’t change the system from within the Democratic Party.”

“My own feeling is that the Democratic Party is ideologically bankrupt.”

“I am not now, nor have I ever been, a liberal Democrat,”

“I am not a Democrat, period.”

"The Democratic and Republican parties are tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum, they both adhere to an ideology of greed and vulgarity."

“I am extremely proud to be an independent.”

“The fact that I am not a Democrat gives me the freedom to speak out on the floor of the House, to vote against both the Democratic and Republican proposals.”

"The Democratic Party is ideologically bankrupt, they have no ideology. Their ideology is opportunism.”
