The Vermont senator, who has long had a tense relationship with the Democratic Party, suggested in an interview that more progressives should join him in running as independents.
Well, if you truly understood that video, then you would know that by voting independent you’re fracturing the vote away from the one-of-two major parties, which means victory for the bad guys. It explains this.
Look, I 100% agree with you that what we have is absolute shit. You’re preaching to the choir. But the bad guys aren’t going to fracture their vote. They’re just not.
The system is the issue, and what we have to work with is by design. If you vote for anything but one of the two parties in power, you’re just giving the worst of the two the actual win.
The ONLY way to fix this is to fix the system. Period. End of discussion. That’s the cold hard truth.
Why do you think so many Russian trolls tried to push Bernie so hard back in 2016? Because they actually understand that video - you can’t do SHIT as an independent running in the system unless EVERYONE does it.
You’re incredibly passionate about our plight - so am I. Even if we don’t agree on everything, we’re in a small subset of people that are INVOLVED and INFORMED. The general populace is fairly dumb as shit. Their knowledge goes about an inch deep. Unless you can guarantee that EVERYONE is going to switch from Dem to independent, your suggestion is literally doomed to fail.

Nope, still disagree. Don’t have time or inclination to explain why, though.
Goodbye.
