How many
'Democrats'
are ever allowed to run
for government office
for government office
as 'Republicans'?
NONE!
Why would the
‘Democratic Party’ allow ‘non-party member’s’ to run in government as
Democrats?
MONEY!
When we moved to
Florida, as Democrat’s we joined the closest party.
The first election
‘Every leader of that party’ tried to force us to vote for
a Republican that they invited to their 'Democratic meeting'!
a Republican that they invited to their 'Democratic meeting'!
Why?
Because he is a
‘Good Guy’
Yes he was running
unopposed.
Should that matter?
Did we sign his
paper?
We both told him to
shove his paper as we walked out the door!
Today Florida has
two non-Democrats, one for governor, one for president running for office as
Democrats!

The official
government biography for Sanders lists his previous nonpolitical occupations
as carpenter and journalist.
A 2015 profile
of Sanders by Politico reporter Michael
Kruse quoted a political ally as saying his work as a carpenter was rudimentary

It also detailed Sanders' freelance
work for the Vermont Freeman, a small alternative newspaper in
Burlington called the Vanguard Press and
a magazine called Vermont Life.
Non of his freelance
work paid much, though.
