(19,537 posts)... that has TRADITIONAL progressive Democratic values. Are you suggesting he run as an independent and likely throw the election to the Republicans with a vote split? Do you want a Republican to win? He doesn't, which is why he's running in the Democratic primary. Don't like that, and want to not have progressives split a vote with an independent candidate? Then push for instant runoff voting as a more constructive solution than pushing against Sanders as an independent running in the primary. The system is rigged to not allow independent candidates a shot at winning, and now with Citizen's United to allow corporate 1% money to control both parties.
If you like corporate ownership of both parties, then continue saying you don't like Bernie. If you don't like that, you're not going to have that happen without someone like Bernie winning in 2016.
