God I wish this was true. Sanders would either have to run as an Independent and crush any chance the D's have of winning in 2020 or he'd have to show his true colors by bowing out of the race so the establishment, corporate Democrat has a chance.
Unfortunately I don't see either happening. Bernie will just compromise his principles again and declare he is a Democrat, thus allowing him to run.

Most likely the views of those not bought by the corporatists will be represented by someone else but you can be assured, there will be someone.
The Democratic National Committee’s rules and bylaws committee adopted a new rule on Friday [6/8/18] that would prevent outsiders like Bernie Sanders from seeking the party’s nomination in the 2020 presidential race.
“At the time a presidential candidate announces their candidacy publicly, they must publicly affirm that they are a Democrat,” the rule says. “Each candidate pursuing the Democratic nomination shall affirm, in writing, to the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee that they: A. are a member of the Democratic Party; B. will accept the Democratic nomination; and C. will run and serve as a member of the Democratic Party.”
I'm surprised by this. democrat socialist Bernie has a real shot of winning the presidential election should he run in 2020, but it doesn't look like he would get support from the dnc for a presidential run in 2020. he has always said he is not a democrat.
So in the end, the American people truly don't have a vote. We only have two choices that the powerful select.
Either way, it may be a throwaway vote, but I think I will either vote for Rand Paul or Jill Stein this next upcoming election.
He doesn't belong in any Democrat related organization, he isn't a Democrat. While I don't support even 1% of his political platform, I 100% support him going 3rd party where he belongs. I'm all for a 3rd or even 4th party getting involved to shake up the stale and unproductive 2 party system.
I think its very telling how the elites felt entirely threatened by Bernie Sanders, but not so much by Donald Trump. Bernie was the greater threat to the upper class.
Bernie was the greatest threat to the nation. The loony old screeching socialist couldn't find his azz with both hands. Clueless about an economy, never had a real job, no idea what it means to produce a thing. He's too clueless even for today's Democratic party. Only a few simple minded children fell in behind him and got into his prattling about "free chit". Not so much different than Russia in 1917 come to think of it. Which just shows that we can never understand the potential damage caused by simple minded children.
If Bernie wants to run as a Dem and destroy any chance they have of winning in 2020, all he has to do is declare himself a Dem. It's not exactly like the Democratic party is picky about who they allow to play.

41% of democrats are socialists.
Bernie if not stopped would be the democrats 2020 presidential candidate MAGAKAGA
I hope he wises up and runs as an independent or for the greens.
It's about time for a nontraditional 3rd party anyway!
After what the DNC did to Bernie during the last election cycle, I'd be quite surprised if he'd want to have anything to do with them for 2020. Besides, Bernie's political philosophy aligns more squarely with the Grren Party than the corporate driven democratic party.
In my heart of hearts, I've always been more inclined towatds the Green Party anyways...
I only settled for the Democratic Party as the lesser of two evils...
Go Bernie!
