Should Bernie Sanders run on the Green Party ticket?

[LoneLaugher]

He's not out to give the Republican candidate a dream of winning. Sorry.

I'm hoping he has more personal integrity than that. I assume he believes in his platform and understands that a Clinton win over Trump is not a victory.

Will conservatives be calling for Cruz to show "integrity" and run on the Constitution Party ticket?

I would never suggest that Cruz had any integrity.

If Bernie doesn't do this, does it mean that he has no integrity?

 

[Tehon]

Bernie should go for it. He has the popular vote and Hillary is a criminal.

He has fewer votes than Clinton.

States with closed primaries probably hurt him in that regard.

Just the same, it's the Democratic primary and he has fewer votes.

 

[Slyhunter]

Socialist need their own damn party. Hillary doesn't want their votes anyhow.

I would have to call it into question, I don't know that I would go that far though, to say that he had none. I would have to hear his rationale.

He won't be burdened with those constraints in the general election.

 

[PredFan]

Yes he should.

Because some Cruz devotee thinks it's a good idea.

He won't. He doesn't have the nads.

Is that what your side calls "stupidity," because if so, you've got 'em.

Hey, wtf is YOUR problem? The OP asked a question and I answered it. Whether you agree or not is completely irrelevant.

 

[Snouter]

The dummies who support Bernie are democrats, not rational, thinking people. They will vote democrat.

 

[Zander]

Yes. He should show the world he is a man that places his sick socialist principles (theft, fear, and envy) over the Democrat party. Walk the walk old crackpot!!

He'll create a workers paradise! Just like Venezuela and Cuba!! Si se Puede!!

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Bernie should come out of the closet and be the candidate from the Communist Party USA. The party has had to endorse a Democrat for the last 30 years I'm sure they would be ecstatic to have a real comrade and not the watered down versions they get with Dems . Come on Bernie go full commie you know you want to.

What about the states that have closed Republican primaries but open Democratic ones? Get back to us after June 7th.

Courage is staying the course. Cowardice is throwing a fit when you don't get your own way, and threatening to take your ball and going home. The reason so many of you love Trump is because you confuse the two.

I don't understand. I don't like Trump. I support Sanders. I don't want him to pack and go home, I want him to continue the fight. And the Green party is offering him that opportunity.

He knows who buttered his bread...if the Democratic Party had not allowed him to run on their party ticket, he would not have gotten the platform he got, nor the votes he got...stabbing the DNC in the back as a Thank You, wouldn't go over that well imho.

Independents, Greens, "libertarians," unaffiliated voters, and even some Republicans can vote in open Democratic primaries. A lot of them are so repulsed by Trump/Cruz that they'll vote Democratic...for the primaries, at least. And that doesn't necessarily mean they'll vote for Hillary.

What's the membership of the Green party, again? Bernie might give them a boost, but they won't do anything for him except hand Hillary an uncontested convention, which actually gives Trump an edge...except for the fact that she'll blow his toupe off during the debates and all but the knuckle-walkers will see him for what he really is.

Bernie's been pulling Hillary inexorably to the left. It won't be the same DNC when this election's over.

 

[BIG YANK BAL 1976]

Sanders has already said he's not running 3rd party, and getting on all the ballots will be a major problem, and he is running out of money, folks ARE NOT GOING TO KEEP THROWING $$$$ at someone who keeps losing their ass, and he fired and let go the majority of his staff, and he got beat up by Clinton pretty bad and is down to her by over 3.1 MILLION POPULAR VOTES, he has no fucking leverage to run on, and he's pushing 75 years old, he looks really old and is running out of gas, don't think there's much left in the tank, he should have run against Hillary's husband back in the 90's when he was a much younger man..

Let's get fucking real the country and the World wants to see a Hillary and Trump brawl, and the powers that be will make sure it's a 1 on 1 contest..

I don't give a flying fuck about Hillary getting BIG MONEY from speeches blah, blah, blah, When your running for President of the USA against A BILLIONARE you need an insane amount of money, Hillary can get it , Bernie CAN'T..

Yes that opinion seems to be the majority opinion and I imagine Sanders will conduct himself accordingly. It's rather unfortunate really, someone needs to start the fight to wrest control of our government from the oligarchs.

 

[Super_Lantern]

I think there should be an independent alternative candidate on the right and on the left

Bernie is still holding a lot of power to negotiate with the DNC at the convention to adopt some of what he and his followers want, in to the Democratic Platform....

Please don't feel like his ''run'' will end up being a waste just because he didn't win...it's NOT!

Sanders holds no sway over the DNC. They might give him some lip service but once Hillary is in the white house it will be business as usual. She's not going to turn on her donors.
No, Bernie should go out swinging. What else is he going to do, go back to the Senate and continue his fight from there. He has been rather ineffective to date I would say, hell most people didn't even know who he was before he got into the race.
