Lol so Bernie is the devil for running as a democrat, because his policies aren't consistent with Democratic policies, though Warren has the same policies (and more free stuff), and she's ok?..., and she's a democrat? Again, fighting over labels... They are pretty much campaigning for the same things, the only thing I've really seen different and that Warren hasn't adopted yet is Bernie's FT job garuntee..
If Bernie ran as an independent, I garuntee Trump walks away with it (siphoning votes away from whoever the dem would be). By him running as a dem, if he gets the nod, then we still have a chance of removing dump. By him running as a dem, liberals who are concerned have the chance to knock him off, so that he doesn't siphon. As an independent, that's not possible.
