Nader ran third-party...Bernie is running as a Democrat...And will support the Dem nominee... (Original Post)

(20,709 posts)1. Will his followers support the Dem nominee? If he can't undo the effects of his Naderite
rhetoric when it comes time to endorse Hillary, the comparison might not be so bogus.

It's not as though he was obligated to treat her as though she would probably be nominated and that he shouldn't even have taken his own campaign seriously.

(146,317 posts)3. You're exactly right.
Sanders is not running n g a third party spoiler campaign. If he is not successful in becoming the nominee, he will endorse the Democratic nominee. The inverse is also true. We'd all do well to recognize that, I think.

...we lose. I think they will do the correct thing.

(51,122 posts)7. Bernie is like Nader because of sparse, but big non-diverse rallies, and will fail to win.
But he won't bring us a George W. Bush like Nader did, that much is true.
