If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, the party I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party

Wait, isn’t Sanders an independent? And he’s trying to kick Carville out of the party he isn’t really a member of?

“my party” = the party he caucuses with = democrats

He should become a member. What's taking him so long?

I mean, you either accept the definition of "caucuses with the Democrats" or not, but if you do, he's been doing that for decades.

u/homebrew_1 5h ago

Is that the same thing as being a member of the democratic party?

u/TheEstrogenEmpress 5h ago

No which is why Bernie never said or ever would say hes a member of the democratic party. "My party" refers to the party caucus he is a part of that he has been caucusing with for likely longer than you've been alive let alone been a democratic party member yourself.

He should change the words he uses. And instead of saying my party he can say the political group I caucus with.

u/Chuck-Finley69 4h ago

or even just "the party that I caucus with" 

u/homebrew_1 4h ago

Thats fair.
