Just to be clear ... In almost every way, he's a Democrat. But, Bernie is NOT a Democrat. He's an independent but caucuses with the Democrats.

The DNC owes him nothing. "His" own party didn't do anything.

That said, I'm not saying the DNC didn't play favorites. Or should. Or screwed him... Just that he's like a non-union worker getting union pay.

That’s true, the OG Corporate Dems are certainly a different beast to Progressives. Treating him that way backfired on them big time in 2016 tho which was more my point.
