The point I'm trying to make is influence. Strongly Voting for bloc pulls the other parties policies toward our point of view so they can get at least some seats. Or risk being a minority government. Having a Bernie/ Cortez party running on the left for Senate and the house would have much more pull than they have now. They still could say voir for Harris as president but pour out his on the rest of the ballot. But I can tell even the ideas that they could start changing is offensive.

Not at all, in fact Bernie is in the unofficial largest 3rd party (sorry Libertarians), the Independents. Now of course that's not a party as such, but that was his compromise.

If Bernie and AOC say jump, I'll say how high. But Nothing's new there and we're totally fuX0r3d for the next four years because Jill Stein and a russian op doppelganger crew decided trump for all. Third party? We'll be lucky to have the remnants of a civil society.

Bernie said vote for Harris, but all the "leftist" trolls just ignore that part.

It was a complete coincidence that their positions aligned exactly with russian troll farms. What were the odds?? Amazing.
