The proposed resolution would not "force" Bernie to join the party, for the very good reason that it couldn't. It was merely urging him to do so.

The article is valuable, however, for adding the information about the reaction of the Democrats from Vermont. That they weren't even consulted is very revealing about the motivations of the proponents of the resolution.
