'His own party?' Hmmm remind when Bernie has ever been a Democrat in his life. It's almost as if Democratic leadership was upset that a non-Democrat was making such waves. If anything, this election proves why the two party system needs to be abolished. Bernie is not a Democrat.

He was running for the Democratic ticket, and the party he was running for stacked cards against him, Jesus fucking Christ, dude.

If you believe that is is a Democrat simply because he ran as a Democrat then you are the one who's not been paying attention. He has never belonged to the Democratic Party and actually just recently confirmed that he will continue to serve as an Independent in the senate. The bottom line is that Hillary has been a Democrat for over 30 years and has spent decades fundraising for the DNC. Bernie has been an independent for decades and never raised a dime for the DNC. I don't understand why you would be so shocked that they would not treat them the same. Just because you run in a particular party does not mean you truly belong to it. Just like Trump is not a Republican.
