Once again, long lines appeared at certain select precincts where many frustrated voters gave up and returned home. Sanders accused the Democrat party of voter suppression.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-calls-long-lines-michigan-polling-stations-outrage-suggests-dems-are-engaging-1491592</ref>  As a committed [[idealist]], which anyone who knows the man or followed his career since he entered politics in 1981, these events explain clearly why Sanders never joined the Democratic party - because the Democratic party is not democratic.  Democratic party insiders and office holders do not hold to the fundamental belief in one man, one vote.  This was true when the Democratic party's forebearers inserted the 3/5 rule into the U.S. Constitution; it was true in the decade-long court battles ending with the  [[Dred Scott]] decision, and after the [[Civil War]] it was the basis for, first lynching white [[carpetbagger|carpetbagging]] Republicans, then secondly turning on recently freed [[Blacks]] and imposing a century-long era of [[segregation]] and [[Jim Crow]].  Winning, and holding power at all costs, are the core principles of Democratic party leadership since its founding, and those core beliefs have repeatedly compromised any notion of [[freedom]], [[equality]] or human rights to attain their objectives.  Few contemporary, ordinary Democratic party voters understand these basic facts of the history of the Democratic party as well as Bernie Sanders does.  By running from outside the party, Bernie Sanders attempted to reform it.  Sanders is the living embodiment of the 38% of Democratic party voters, who identify as socially conscious [[liberal]]s or [[progressive]]s, whose valuers and beliefs may be high-minded and noble, but are systematically mocked behind their backs as dupes and stooges by party insiders.  In Sanders' case, Sanders has simply been honest with himself by ''not'' wearing the party label. Very few of his staff, supporters or followers can make the same claim, or excuse.
