One only has to look at the miserable showing of third parties to know that serious people don't take them seriously. The third party advocates who infest this place can't believe that people just don't buy their shit.

Nothing is preventing Bernie Sanders from having his "ideas heard on a national stage". Bernie's profile is as high as Ron Paul's, so he already has a platform. Much like Ron Paul & Dennis Kucinich, he has an ideologically devoted following, and absolutely no chance in hell of ever being elected nationally. The most he could do would be to throw the election to the Republican, like Ralph Nader. I don't think Bernie's as diabolical as these idiots:
