polls better than she does versus Trump, is more liked, and more trusted than she is. If she runs against anyone other than Trump, she will be the most unpopular nominee in polling history. She is corrupt (largest donors over career are banks, been raking in money from corporate interests since the campaign started and has gotten more money from Wall Street than all the other candidates combined, she and her husband have gotten over three billion since they entered politics, and those interests have benefited from the policies they've supported). You all pretended to be against Citizens United, now you don't bother because you know how you'd look backing her and pretending to be against that. She has an extremely hawkish record and a center-right record on economic issues. The FBI is conducting an investigation and she could be indicted.

Sanders lost because he decided to run in a party where you could be all those things and still win the nomination (so what has the party become and what exactly do you stand for?), a party that doesn't care about her corruption, horrible poll numbers, or her center-right record. He ran in a party where the most progressive candidate in the race is far more popular with the general public than the that party. He also ran against a candidate with massive amounts of money and establishment support, and a person in the most powerful family in the party he decided to run in. He came from 60 points down to almost beat her.

He shouldn't support her in the coming election, don't bother, and work to form a third party at the national level that bring together the countless left of center parties across the country, and the millions of his supporters that wouldn't bother with your corrupt candidate and party. Stop pretending that people wanting to address and radically change structural inequality, corruption and a system that is leading us to ecological collapse can unite with people that don't want any of that. People shouldn't be united because they want to decide to be on the same team. That team should stand for something, how do you unite people so far apart logically, morally and ideologically? Isn't possible.
