I just don't understand how you can assert that Bernie Sanders the independent has to caucus and vote with Democrats or Republicans. Indepenants are as there name says independent. Sure Sanders is probably more left than any member of the D. But that does not change the fact that he's an independent

Independent is how he runs. Caucus refers to leadership once elected. Sanders can choose R, D or remain I. With R or D he gets a say in leadership. Committee assignments come from leadership. If he remains outside the caucus he has no committee access.
