5. I initially read the title and thought it was about dumping the platform.

And the platform isn't good on some issues (particularly MIC). It highly lacks a basic income, single payer, fee and dividend, things like that. A Sanders platform would be a pretty significant shift from the waffling position of the platform (fee and dividend comes to mind because the platform just talks about dealing with climate change, but doesn't endorse a method).

But nope, the article is about dumping the party altogether and running as a Nader-esque candidate. Seems the writer of the article doesn't know a damn thing about Bernie and his character. He would never do that.
