He's not even a Democrat.

The progressive left has always wanted a third party candidate. Or do they?

I think you miss the point.

If we can get the old socialist fossil to run as a third party candidate, then we can avert the disaster of the old neo-socialist fossil becoming the next president.

So I vote yes, yes, yes!

He caucuses with the Democrats, in case you didn't know.

You're so fearful, that if he ran on a third party platform you would still vote for HRC.

Why not? Then Trump can run as an independent too when he doesn't get his way and things will get interesting.

Until American Elections recognize more than 2 parties..Nope Bernie will not go Independent..as Most of his values identifies with Liberals..However..on the other side..GOP embraced totally off the charts folks ( tent inclusive LOL) whether they be Libertarian or Tea Pot folks..and MAN given the field now..GOP are hiding under the covers LOL

Anyway..Bernie Sanders is yes Independent ..He also has been willing to compromise..and more than likely agree's with the Left..SO IF anyone fantasizes that The BERNe will go independent?.....Me thinks..You may worry more about your own Candidates..namely Trump..WHY?? because his word is not his bond..He (Trump) could very likely go Independent...LOL..ROFLMBO

You do realize that several different parties run each election, it is just that we have two popular parties the garner most of the votes. Nothing is preventing you from voting for other parties.

Sure, he can just run as a socialist party candidate.

The progressive left is afraid to go third party with the most viable candidate they could field it with. They must not want third party candidates.

But that's no surprise.
