I'm glad Bernie sided with Hillary. He's given the Democrats a foundation to build on. I think the two parties have been too similar before, now there's a clear distinction between them. Finally the politics in the US might get interesting.

This is an incredibly tired argument that shows a complete lack of understanding of our electoral system.
A third-party candidate will never, I repeat, never win the general election in the US until we have a massive electoral reform.
There are three possible outcomes of third-party votes in our system as it is designed:
- Most likely: No one notices that you wasted your vote. Congratulations.
- Y2K repeats itself: The moron Republican candidate wins because a small but statistically significant percentage of the liberal demographic votes for a spoiler candidate.
- Least likely: A third-party candidate gets a large enough percentage of the vote that there are actually three competitive candidacies, and none of them surpass the 50%-of-total-votes mark. The Electoral College vote is disregarded, and the House of Representatives (currently heavily slanted towards Republican) coronates whoever they want as President with no regard for the popular vote, at all.
Please learn our laws before you spout nonsense.
