Good for Bernie.
That is the difference between the GOP and the DEMS. The GOP steps in line. DEMS remain independent. And nothing ever gets done by either (except GOP'ers slashing taxes).
I understand what you're saying, but Bernie is not now and never has been a real Democrat. It's part of the reason most Democrats have never been on board with him as a presidential nominee. He caucuses with the Dems and he wants their resources, but he's always been independent or a member of some fringe left wing political party.
@Suliso, the Dems have a pretty strong mandate for recent political history.
It is very likely that in the next few election cycles US will turn sharply to the right. I I were a Republican in US I'd look eagerly ahead to 2022 and even more 2024.

Abandoning white working class voters as well as rural areas could turn out very badly for Democrats unless they do something about it very soon.
Having not read that article (since it's behind a paywall), I would say Democrats haven't abandoned white working class voters or rural areas. Rather, the political environment has changed to the point where economic issues are not what is most important to those voters. Big spending used to help get that sort of person's vote, but now what is more important to them are social issues such as immigration, anti-woke stuff like opposing critical race theory, and generally whatever Trump supports. Democrats can't appeal to that kind of voter.
Tog is right. Here's Noel Casler's latest Friday Night Car Rant.

In fairness, if Mitch had his way, no one anywhere would receive food stamps, disability, or Medicaid. Because... socialism. And because... those populations are disposable. At least in his pea-sized brain.

Just so we're clear that people with security clearances don't wear buttons to advertise that fact.
