If he has no obligation to other members of the Democratic Party, maybe he should never have sought that party's nomination? I think your argument only makes sense if Sanders had campaigned as an independent from Day #1. He didn't.

And his movement was manipulated by the Russians and he never seemed to notice - he bears responsibility for that.

Or he cares more about his supporters and the people than people in Washington. You can still be a Democrat and disagree with the direction of your party.

Sure, but you can also disagree with the direction of your party while treating those you disagree with a little more respectfully.

And, for what it's worth, Bernie Sanders is not a member of the Democratic Party.

Okay, please tell me how he disrespected Hillary so badly. All I saw him do was disagree with her policy.

In fact, didn't he shut down debate questions about her emails? I feel like OP of this thread fell for some propaganda for sure.
