Bernie did the normal and right thing, no scandal here, it's part of how a winner-take-all electoral system works, and he knows it. Don't give us this adolescent crap about principles.
Ron Paul did the same thing, Donald Trump is doing the same thing, so is Bernie, and in one way or another I have respected or supported them all.
Ron Paul because he stigmatized how the "establishment" have urinated in our money supply (although his proposed solution was naïve), Trump because he is kicking them in the crotch
I like Bernie because, well, besides first and foremost his cute Jewish Brooklyn accent, he stigmatizes the need for higher wages to get the economy going again (though in his case too, the proposal how to achieve that is naïve, and besides it's only one piece of the puzzle).
I'm not sure we would be better off in a proportional representation system and in any case it's not on the agenda.

Good Luck!
Ron Paul is the ONLY politician has addressed the real issues without creating unnecessary scapegoats. I agree with the bold.
I also want to add Rand Paul. He also did the same thing.
Democrats and Republicans work together so that alternative voices aren't given a legitimate platform. Politics is about compromise and that is what Bernie had to do to be heard.
I don't understand the point the OP is trying to make either. Sanders caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate and has the legal right to run as a Democrat in the primaries, even though he is ideologically a Social Democrat. So what?

.. agreed. Plus,
Bernie Sanders Is No Socialist
Social democracy would have been an easier label to defend – and more accurate.
