You can have your reasons for voting for Bernie, but anti-establishment can't be one of them. Lifelong, career politicians stand for everything that is anti-establishment. Trump is the only viableanti-establishment candidate there is.
They like him for lots of reasons including him being one of the farthest to the left to ever run for POTUS. He'll easy win the sympathy vote.
Also for those who don't know when Bernie raises all the taxes, he's going to make all of our upper-class and corporations, and and start-up business' leave the country...to avoid the 50% tax rate.
He also wants to decriminalize drugs...legalize marijuana completely, and release all inmates with drug related sentences.
Still want to vote for him??
Oh yeah, he wants to remove God and all mentions of God from our currency and national monuements.
AND....shut down Guantanamo Bay....releasing the prisoners
He ALSO wants to stop using torture methods...All of them, and let proven terrorists have a "fair" trial.
Yeah, ummmm, why would you vote for someone like that.
He is an independent and has been up front with his views, he doesn't follow any party. Go look at his voting record compared to the other candidates who follow the party line.
Maybe because he doesn't follow the established party line, thinks for himself and votes with the interests of his constituents instead of being under the influence of lobbyists.
Also because he has been saying the same stuff pretty much for years and doesn't flip flop with the changing seasons.
I'm not a liberal so I am just throwing ideas out there.
There are things I disagree with the liberals about but I think he is a good man.
I cannot say that I support any candidate of either party in this year's elections so far.

He caucused with Democrats. He absolutely "followed" a party. Bernie Sanders was a crucial vote for Democrats when a crucial vote was needed. See Obamacare for your proof. Anyone can be a "nay" when it doesn't matter how you vote based on vote counts. He's a loyal Democrat, no matter how many mental gynmastics you folks perform.
Anti-establishment does not mean anti-government. It's about fighting corruption and money, not that people who dedicate their lives to public service. Yes, many career politicians are part of the corruption, but being a politician does not mean you are corrupt.
Bernie is the most ideological consistent candidate that is running. No one else has his consistency or honesty. Not even Trump, who was a Democrat not that long ago, and in my mind, probably still is.

Sure he does. It just happens to be the Communist party.

How does he reconcile his Obamacare vote while simultaneously lamenting the 30 million people that are still uninsured?
A principled ideologue would have voted 'nay" since the law didn't go far enough for his taste. Bernie Sanders was a crucial vote for Democrats when a crucial vote was needed. That makes him not-so-principled afterall.

"He is an independent"
IF he is an Independent he should NOT be allowed to run on the Democrat ticket.
He should run third party as OTHERS have before him.
