A great man said that and it's an idea that has inflamed the imaginations of many generations before us and will inspire generations to come.

They are supporting the nomination of Sanders by the Democratic Party and clearly do not expect to nominate him for a third party candidacy. Quite the contrary.

... although the Justice Party is proactively seeking to identify a person willing to run as its presidential candidate in 2016, we must be prepared for the possibility that we will not be able to identify such a person.

...Bring on the Greens!

If only they would see how Bernie is opening the door FOR THEM in the future, how could they not do this same thing? There is a time for separation and there is a time for unification. Guess what time it is now?!

The Green Party is quite attractive, but like many 3rd parties they would be better off endorsing someone for President rather than running their own candidate.

Which means they think we Bernie supporters are just sheep to be herded into the establishment pen. I'm glad Rocky Anderson's group is not like that.

It's essentially the notion of the circular firing squad.

A Sanders Presidency would help all third parties by at least the following: bringing more voices to the table, ending Citizens United and creating publicly funded elections.
