[Happy Monkey]

It's not hilarious; it's sad. But it's true. It's something that Bernie recognized, which is why he became a Democrat to run, and is switching back to independent now, while also supporting Hillary in the Hillary vs Trump choice.

The parties have made the process, so the process favors the parties. That's why I don't resent Bernie for using Democratic apparatus for his campaign, and then leaving the party. He didn't make the rules, he just used them as best he could.

Unless you actually think that a third party candidate can get a majority of electoral votes* this November (and I'll concede that if it can happen, this is the most likely year for it to happen), then this is a choice between two candidates.

* Even a plurality would go to the House.
