In simple terms, Sanders is promoting Marxism.
Yeah, right. He’s a New Deal Democrat.
I see Gary Johnson is trying to present himself and the Libertarians in the same space that Bloomberg is if Sanders and Trump end up being the candidates - socially liberal, economically conservative.
I’d love to see a broad range of parties elected proportionately, with instant run-off voting for the President, but you’d need to get rid of the Electoral College and totally reform all of Congress, because it’s all set up for two parties, and only two parties. It fundamentally doesn’t work at all if you have more.
Sanders is never going to run third party anyway, because he’s not a fool. This is why he joined the Democrats. He doesn’t want to split the vote.
I really hope that Trump does run as an Independent. If Bloomberg did too, it could be very interesting. I can imagine nobody would get > 50% of the Electoral College and the whole thing would collapse in a heap.
