Some say Sanders doesn’t deserve the nomination because he’s “not a Democrat.” Any American should be able to run for president, but the political parties have made it very difficult to do so as an Independent. And the party of inclusion should actually be the party of inclusion.

That's a made up issue, I don't understand this blind love of the DNC and Tom Perez, they are bad at their jobs and constantly drop the ball. Honestly I'd be happier if they hired Michael Steele at least he's not incompetent

And if you run as Third party or Independent they will not let you live it down!
Shut up and go talk to a wind chime, you woo woo quack job

The parties are not the problem. First-past-the-post voting systems are the problem. The parties are just optimizing for the world as it is. Voters can turn the tables here by advocating for and voting to support ranked-choice voting at all levels.

More political parties long overdue. The monopoly of the current two has brought us to this point in time.

Bernie is more popular than dems. In a Vermont race back in the day the Republican finished first, Bernie finished second as an independent, the democrat finished third. Who’s the spoiler? The democrat.

I will actually do something old-fashioned and not so feminist: bow to the lady.
