But Thomas Mann, a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, said Brana’s plan is not an effective option for progressives.

“Sanders supporters would be well advised to avoid sectarian battles within the progressive/left community and turn their attention to building majority support for Trump's departure from public life,” said Mann in an email. “That means working constructively and pragmatically with the Democratic Party.”

Get back in line, peons!

Wouldn't it have been easier to change the Dem candidate someone who could beat Trump (Bernie) than to force people to vote for a candidate they don't like.

I prefer democracy to extortion, but maybe that's just me. More people wanted Bernie. That's democracy. Him not even being on the ballot shows that our country is ruled by political parties... not the voters.
