Hit the nail on the head. In your opinion, had Bernie won, do you think that would have opened the door to a 3rd party? Or do you think that very idea is what led him not to be nominated vs Hillary by the Democrats?

I don't think so. As independant as Bernie is, he's still very much associated with the Democrats. I don't think his independant status has anything to do with him being tossed to the sidelines. He just wasn't what the democrat establishment wanted. He was only catering to the left side of the democrats so he couldn't have won either way.

To give 3rd parties any chance whatsoever you would need a complete voting reform and that wouldn't even happen with Bernie as president.

What would allow a 3rd party then? I mean, I suppose even a President couldnt do it cause Congress would block it. So itd have to be Congress. If enough people rallied would there be a chance for one? Even thats low. Nothing short of a revolution could get us one, huh?
