People have short memories.

And the thing about democracy, if your candidate is more liberal (or conservative) that 98% of the voters, you might have trouble convincing them to vote for your guy (or gal). The deck is not stacked against you, it's how DEMOCRACY works. It does not follow that because your candidate lost due to being far out of the mainstream on views and policy, that ALL the other candidates are the same.

People are salty right now. And I think Bernie Sanders is a better person than Nader, too. He has strong views and is willing to fight for them, but I don't think his ego is so titanic that he is going to take his ball and go home because if he doesn't win it all. Hillary was not at her finest toward the end of her last primary, either. But she did put her big girl pants on eventually, got back in the game for the right side.
