How the Anti-Populists Stopped Bernie Sanders
Just a few short years ago we Americans knew what we were doing: making the world into one big likeness of ourselves. We had the experts; we knew how it was done. Our policy operatives would deradicalize here and regime-change there; our economists would float billions to the good guys and slap sanctions on the bad; and pretty soon the whole place was going to be stately and neat, safe for debt instruments and empowerment seminars, for hors d’oeuvres in the embassy garden and taxis hailed with smartphones. Democracy! Of thee we sang.

Now we stand chastened, humiliated, bewildered. Democracy? We tremble to think of what it might do next.

Government of the people? When we open the door to ordinary people—let them actually influence what goes on—they insist we make bigotry and persecution into our great national causes.

Government by the people? When we let the people have their say—unmanaged, uncurated—they choose the biggest blowhard on TV to be our leader. Then they cheer for him as he destroys the environment and cracks down on immigrant families.

Heed the voice of the plain people and all the levees of taste and learning will immediately be swamped. Half of them will demand that minorities be consigned to the back of the bus; the other half will try to confiscate the hard-won wealth of society’s greatest innovators. (...)

I support him 100%.

At this point I fear greatly for the future of this country.

Bernie Sanders Was Right
Goodbye to an honest man’s campaign.
(...) There is so little freedom in the world. Even here, now, in our celebrated liberal democracy, social mobility is incredibly limited compared with that in countries of comparable development, and there appears to be very little we can do about it. One freedom that cannot be taken from you is your freedom not to like the status quo — your freedom to be angry, disaffected, unimpressed, your refusal to be cajoled, soothed or consoled with small tokens of influence devoid of real power. Mr. Sanders, ill tempered and impatient with pleasantries, embodied that freedom, and he offered it to you.

None of this means you will get what you want, in politics or in life: Mr. Sanders did not win, after all. But he never lied, and he never pretended to like what is so clearly detestable or attempted to persuade any one of us that we ought to like it either. He was right to the end, and he refused to reconcile himself to the forces that eventually overtook him. It is hard to see him go. But there is at least some dignity in it.

I agree with the sentiment, but voting for a candidate that isn't viable is the same as not voting.  In our current system, the only way to have an impact is to either vote for....or against...one of the two candidates who have a chance of winning.

 
A vote for a third party, under present circumstances, is of no consequence in the election at hand for the reasons you state. The value of such a vote is to promote the viability of third parties for future elections. The more votes a third-party candidate garners, the more attention is drawn to the idea of voting for third parties. A seed might be planted.   I have voted for third-party candidates with that idea in mind.

That said, I would not even consider voting for a third party in November. The imperative is getting rid of Trump — before it is too late for our democracy.

Trump visited the USS Arizona Memorial 3 years ago. He laid a wreath, bowed his head and tweeted about the visit—"Remember #PearlHarbor. Remember the @USSArizona! A day I'll never forget."

One year after that and he's at USS Arizona memorial again—but he had to ask John Kelly "Hey, John, what’s this all about? What’s this a tour of?” 

That's not being an idiot. That's being demented. 

 
Could be.  If so looks like we are guaranteed to have a mentally disabled President.  Yay two party duopoly!

  Voting Libertarian has never been so easy or even not voting at all, I think we are there now.  It's all good in the hood.
