    Bernie should know how our system works by now,

    Yes, and he’s saying run as independents despite very much knowing how the system works.

      So then he’s saying “Split your votes and make sure no one you support ever gets into power anywhere above the local level because the democrats suck and the system is broken”?

        I think he is saying in the nicest way possible, the the democratic party no longer represents us and we should be using our vote so we can have representation that does.

          Which is fair to say. I just think he should be talking about primarying the establishment Dems as opposed to just not running as Democrats.
