Wait, Bernie is a democrat?

Last i checked.

Sometimes they get so old and senile, they slip up and let the truth slip out!

He might as well be. Nominally an independent (name followed with I) but always votes with D.

He essentially has a job for life, and a pension awaiting when/if he retires.

He isn't completely off base. The Ds (and a few RINOs) are so blinded by TDS they can't see past the ends of their noses.
