If you look at Bernie's actual positions, you may really like the actual Democratic and democratic nature of them. I care about policies and not labels. If it takes an "Independent" label to signal that the Democratic party has strayed too far from its roots, to inspire a whole new generation of voters, to reclaim the apathetic and even to poach some from unlikely places I am just fine with that. In my experience so far, even my Republican friends and relatives are open to some of his ideas (granted, it is a very small sample).
