(109,825 posts)Maybe he should follow Obama's advice and join the Democrats, instead of just using the party every 4 years.
That would be unifying.

Bernie Sanders filed Monday to be a candidate for the Senate in 2024 as an independent.
But last month, Sanders filed as a Democrat for president.
It's not unusual for candidates to file with the Federal Election Commission for re-election to their current office, which allows them to begin raising money. Most candidates file shortly after Election Day, in fact.
But with Sanders, it creates the odd situation of having a high-profile presidential candidate file to run for two different offices with different parties, just as the Democratic Party is adopting rules mandating presidential candidates take something of a loyalty pledge.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
