I think it would be worse if the Democrats let him run as one again, but I might very well be wrong. I’m done with him regardless. If it came down to a vote between him and Trump I would have to vote for him. And unlike way too many Bernie Bros, I’d do what I could to stop Trump. But man, would I hate it.
I also don’t think it will get nearly that far and he’d never get my vote as an independent, so… I’ll worry about that probably never.
