The Greens are not going to split the Democratic vote UNLESS Hillary gets the nomination in which case the Democrats will lose the General anyway. Now, if Bernie gets the nomination? No split because the rank and file Greens will vote for Bernie and Bernie will win the General with their help.

You don't seem to grasp what is actually happening here. BOTH political parties are on the way to extinction if they don't start changing their ways and quit selling out to the .001%. Unfortunately, neither party seems to have a clue as to the populism that is about to overtake them. They can adapt or they can die out. Doesn't matter to me.

And please, quit pushing the Nader shit here. People are far more politically astute here and understand what happened in 2000, the role the SUPREME COURT played along with Tammy Faye Harris, Jeb Bush and the roll the media played in that whole fiasco. Nice of you to give all of them a pass, though.
