And living with myself means doing what I can to keep Trump or Cruz out of office.

And by the way, I never suggested siding with 3rd way politics. Look at the context. I was responding to Califonz, who suggested taking over the Democratic Party from the ground up, starting with the local Democratic committees. I was agreeing with that. It's an easier path than trying to get somewhere with a third party.

I'm talking about taking over the Democratic Party structure and doing away with 3rd way politics. Bernie has shown that you can come close to winning the primary, and maybe even win, while going against the party establishment.
