    I mean the main reason atleast senate wise he caucuses with democrats is because they are the party that is closest to his views and if he didn’t caucus with anyone he would be powerless in the Senate. And sure you can say from the current place America is in he is basically a Democrat he definitely is more progressive and pushes for more progressive ideas then Democrats would ever do.

      Which Democrats? All 50 of them? Yeah, they’re not all progressive. But that doesn’t mean that progressives aren’t part of the party. Being a progressive pushing for more progressive ideas than the entirety of the caucus would support doesn’t mean you’re not a Democrat.
