Regardless of his position on drug prohibition, Rump is a terrible choice to lead this country. I wish Bernie was on the November ballot. Failing that, I wish Jill Stein had a realistic chance of winning the election; I really would prefer her over Hillary. The two-party system is broken. I don't really want Hillary, but I really, really, really don't want Rump, and a vote for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson (or for that matter, a vote for Charlie Brown or Santa Claus) could potentially help Rump win.
How about "Agile Politics"? Imagine Bernie Sanders, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein creating a lithe "policy ticket" - where they each agree one each policy, and to support each others' respective policy. That would be a 3 policy ticket, and they might also promise to call another election once those three policies are through, or checkmated. E.g: Bernie's "end the war on drugs" could be one policy. Yes, the current system is broken. Who has an ear with one of these three candidates? It's actually not too late - Bernie dumping the DNC would certainly create headlines, and perhaps go some way to reclaim his balls/ dignity/ sanity...
