Does it matter that some Sanders supporters believe there's no difference between Dem and Repub now?

4. The analog did in 2000

But the morons who believe this need a known patsy to vote for instead of "Tweedledum or Tweedledee" for a start. Jill Stein ain't hip enough to do that kind of damage. They also are fighting against demographic changes that means we have fewer places where privileged armchair radicals can tip the EV balance.

But yes we should thank Vishnu that Sanders has both the sense to know he'd be an enabling spoiler if he went 3rd party and the integrity (I firmly believe, if not I want my donations back) to keep his promise that he wouldn't do so. In the absence of that catastrophic possibility, I don't see a Nader-like quisling on the horizon who could inspire enough idiots who can't tell the difference between a pragmatic center-left Dem and a howling fascist Rep to do any real damage. I suppose some celebrity hipster could tempt away the disaffected young, but since they hardly bother to vote any way, the loss of votes will be fairly insignificant.
