Yes, split the electorate. If Bernie doesn't get to 270, I believe he'd have more of the national vote.
If the Electoral College STILL plucks Hillary, then yall still got what you wanted, but I rather her earn it that for he to be gifted it the way she apparently has been.
BOTTOM LINE, this is a democracy. Hillary has had money funneled into her campaign by her contributors. Well Bernie has a group of contributors who are willing to see him run on the Independent side. As a Democratic who voted for him in the primary, I think plenty more can follow suit, and they he can win that 55-70% of Independants and suppressed voters that didn't get to cast a vote at all. That plus grassroots organizing = a Sanders win, imho.
But we'll see. I'm ready to #bernitdown
worst case scenario, there's always Canada.
