Bernie Sanders caucuses and campaigns with the Democratic Party and votes with the party 95% of the time.

Sanders is credited with influencing a leftward shift in the Democratic Party after his 2016 campaign. An advocate of progressive policies, he opposes neoliberalism and authoritarianism. He supports workers' self-management, universal and single-payer healthcare, paid parental leave, tuition-free tertiary education, a Green New Deal, and worker control of production through cooperatives, unions, and democratic public enterprises. On foreign policy, he supports reducing military spending, more diplomacy and international cooperation, and greater emphasis on labor rights and environmental concerns in negotiating international trade agreements. Sanders supports workplace democracy and has praised elements of the Nordic model.

To the Democratic Party's credit, Sanders, unlike Slotkin, has been an independent Democratic Socialist who has shown how good it is to work with Democratic Party leadership.

I can't take a swing vote Democrat like Slotkin seriously, and neither should FDR Democrats.
