Bernie wasn't a third party. and the Democrats did all they could to torpedo him, like they do with all the candidates, they chose corporate interests over the voter base. and in doing so, sold the American government to the highest bidder.
they betrayed you and yet you think voting for them is the solution.
... Bernie didn't get 2% of the vote in the general election.
Would you like to recite, for the class, the top 4 parties and their percentages in 2016?
"They did all they could to torpedo him"
Yes, they forced millions of Democrats not to vote for him in 2016
You insist that the electorate is in total agreement with you because you despise the idea that democracy might be a process that functions without your approval.
given that this is the second time Democrats lost to the most unpopular candidates in American history, it seems like most Democrat voters agree with me
"Democrats lost to a far-right candidate" isn't the win for the "The electorate is secretly left-wing" argument that you think it is.
it means the electorate can't stand thre Democratic establishment. and they must change. rather than their main campaign being "we aren't that guy"
