Bernie hit +2 at best. And among the historic independent options, he’s been by far the best.
If you’re trying to get them into the DNC, that’s never going to happen. You’re never going to get an actual choice in the DNC pick. They don’t need to conspire. They can simply say now.
You need an independent that’s better than 50% popular. You’re not getting that with a +2.
It’s honestly probably a unicorn, maybe a pegasus.
We’re pretty screwed until we replace what’s here with something real and fair. But you’re not getting that through half measures or by not voting.
Because there’s no way to run independent in the USA with first past the poll. Though Bernie is independent, he caucuses with the Democrats and when he looked to be winning the primary they pulled the rug out from under him and you neo-liberals have been walking around like the proverbial pigeon on the chess board.
Yeah, they’re not going to let anyone else in. DNC/RNC run their own dog-and-pony show. You could stand up a 50yo white guy with announcer charm and a solid plan to fix healthcare, education, let people keep their guns and be safe about immigration and nobody is going to let them in. That’s the important part about not using that part of the system to get in. Write in spots are there to combat this. It was foreseen a long long time ago.
We did, several times, the last time he had a real chance and the DNC conspired against him. Try it fucking again neo-lib.
You did not.

And comes the purity testing. We didn’t put forward a perfect candidate so throw him out. Same as it ever was.
What you just said makes no sense in putting together an independent candidate. How does an independent candidate get thrown out?
