      11 Democratic senators, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

      He already got left out of the headline

        He’s there.

        In a letter addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland and DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, 11 Democratic senators, along with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), argued the administration “should deschedule marijuana altogether.”

        They could have said “12 Senators…”

        But went with the option that excluded Bernie since he’s not a D.

            He’s never been a D

            But he’s very open about how the two party system sucks and if he ran third party it would.only hurt progress

            So every election he runs in the democratic primary. And abides by the results.

            It’s why him wanting to stay till he was eliminated and getting called a “spoiler” is such bullshit. If Bernie really wanted to, he could have nuked any Dem candidate by running third party in the general.
