Sen. Bernie Sanders told CBS News he's "very disappointed" by the bill to end the government shutdown, calling a planned vote on health insurance subsidies "meaningless."
I really wish Bernie would enter the presidential as an independent. Not necessarily as the presidential pick but maybe as VP, given his age. Although if you see how the annoying orange has been doing recently I think Bernie could take over even in 4 years from now and be better.
Perhaps. Or he could rally a whole bunch of the republican voters to vote for him as well. At this point you’re basically choosing between 2 evils every election, the borderline nazi evil and the complacent evil. Either one is not getting things done the way they should and maybe a solid 3rd candidate could change that.
As bad as the Democratic have been they are far less harmful and already have a sizable voter base.
Some voters will enthusiastically vote for the 3rd party, while other will prefer the 3rd party but vote Democratic because they don’t have faith that the 3rd party will get enough votes and they feel their vote will be “wasted” by voting for them.
I do think a 3rd party would have a better chance slowly taking over congress and the Senate by running candidates in select districts that are strongly left wing. This would also force both the dems and Republicans to make concessions to this 3rd party in order to get enough votes for laws and legislation.
And once again Bernie Sanders is fucking correct
Yes he hasn’t signed on wanting Schumer to be replaced.
Either has AOC.
That’s it IMO. That’s the death of it all right there.

I fear that by doing that it would split the left vote. Resulting in more easy Republican victories.

If only there were a way to ask voters what they would do in hypothetical scenarios, ahead of time
