It doesn't do what you think it does. It does nothing to break the system. In Texas, if you voted for Stein, Johnson, McMullin, or Mickey Mouse... you effectively voted for Trump and made it that much more difficult to turn Texas blue.
When the DNC deliberately sabotaged the Sanders campaign, using every means necessary to assure Clinton's nomination, the Democratic Party lost the Presidential election. It's as simple as that.
If you're saying Bernie would have slayed it against the Donald in the November election if given the chance, I agree. However the Clinton campaign did make quite a few mistakes that hurt whatever chance she had.
The Democratic party just proved itself worse than worthless and less than useless, except of course in the eyes of Progressive Liberals who expect to gain personal financial advantages from NeoLiberal national policy. Even with Sanders, they could have kept and expanded their personal sense of categorical superiority to anyone who is so ignorant, bigoted, etc. as to disagree with them.
I wouldn't say "worse than worthless and less than useless" but I am definitely disappointed in the Democratic party leadership.
SKQuinn, your response to Steve, and in particular the bit you left out and failed to respond to, speaks very loudly. Mash that button dude, mash that button!
