He's not a Democrat, and he endorsed Monday.
He did not formally endorse her earlier, though he said things that came close to it
It was announced on CNN on Monday.
Looking at it, it looks like he said then he would very likely endorse her, but did not formally endorse her then

That guy would be very upset if he could read.
Maybe the upset commenter already had plans on Monday, and upon seeing what he perceived to be Bernie endorsing Kamala on CNN it pretty much dashed their hopes of getting anything else accomplished for the remainder of the day. Little did they realize Bernie was simply showing a predilection for a Kamala endorsement and not outright making the endorsement at that moment. Easy thing to confuse, and i can honestly see how that would have disrupted their schedule.
Hell, my day was shot after i got the news--i called it an early day, went down to the bar and bought all my bros a round in celebration 🍻 Kamala 2024 🇺🇲❤️🙂 thank you, Bernie ✨

Did you read the article?
“Sen. Bernie Sanders endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in Portland, Maine, on Saturday.”
Also: here is Sanders yesterday, Friday, talking about why he had not endorsed her yet.

I mean the main reason atleast senate wise he caucuses with democrats is because they are the party that is closest to his views and if he didn't caucus with anyone he would be powerless in the Senate. And sure you can say from the current place America is in he is basically a Democrat he definitely is more progressive and pushes for more progressive ideas then Democrats would ever do.
Which Democrats? All 50 of them? Yeah, they're not all progressive. But that doesn't mean that progressives aren't part of the party. Being a progressive pushing for more progressive ideas than the entirety of the caucus would support doesn't mean you're not a Democrat.
You are a sycophant for the broken 2 party system. He votes in line with democrats because it is the lesser of two EVILS. He still voices his opinions that are much farther left than the democrats. If you think he is a Democrat you haven't actually been paying attention. Maybe the democrats are taking ownership of him and his followers? That would be pretty cool because it might actually pull one of the parties and the country toward sanity, which was his entire life's goal.
He's been asked to join the party, but refused to do so only until he decided to run for President. When he failed he reverted back to Independant. That's the fact. BTW, Patrick Leahy, another independent Senator from Vermont, was asked to join the Democratic Party at the same time as Bernie. He did so and retired from the Senate after many years. Leahy remained a Democrat although he never ran for President.
He's what I wish more Democrats were.
Evidently he is doesn't.
Sentences are not your strong suit, but I appreciate your tenacity. Keep it up and some day you'll make sense ❤️
Climbing all over a typo. Sad.
SAD!
My favorite sentence ever
