If Bernie wasn't a DINO, the Democrats wouldn't be as concerned as they are about what his bid for the candidacy may have on the party's chances in November.

No, the real reason is that he threatens their funding sources in the oil, financial and media empires.

If he wasn't a DINO he wouldn't be a threat.

I have to agree. Hillary in this case is the DINO.

In any other world she would be a republican.

Explain it to me then. How is it consistent with the stated values and principles of the Democratic Party to crawl into bed with and serve the interests of the plutocracy? Bernie is a threat because he reminds Democrats how far they've drifted away from their core principles.

Yet Bernie, who has never been a Democrat, is bitching about Democratic primary rules. Go figure.

You don't see the through line here? It's pretty obvious.

I just think it's interesting that Trump/Bernie activists are acting as though this is the very first time either party has had something other than a pure referendum as their primary process. It has never been thus.

Why in your opinion did the DNC allow Bernie to run as a Democrat and compete against their their chosen candidate Hillary, since he has labeled himself a Soshialist?

Ask Hillary, or her ardent supporters, to explain it to you if you are unable to figure it out. The Democratic Party you're referencing no longer exists. Bernie's a DINO. I wouldn't have voted for him in the primary if he wasn't.
