He pulled a pretty good con, in my opinion, on us. All said and done by the way the whole primary went down, I'll never vote for a democrat again, or republican. And how the primary went down, I'd argue democracy is dead. Between party suppression, voter suppression, voter purging, and vote tampering, gerrymandering, by both parties, there is no sensible way to even refer to it as democracy. I believe Sanders switch to the democrat party to play the very role that most of us who then supported him was to pull in his supporters to Clinton. Afraid of not having anyone to challenge her would look like she was entitled. They had to cover that so it couldn't be used by the republicans.

I could also say Clinton voters took away Sanders win. With all due respect, we have a right to vote for who ever we wish to vote for. Without having that insult lingering over us to excuse a loss. If you have people with valid reasons who don't want to vote for you, blaming them for a lost is simply a means to degrade and avoid the issues that drives them to their chosen candidate. We should also have the right to have at least 2 other major parties allowed to debate and in the process. I totally dislike the Libertarian Party, but they have enough support they should also be allowed into the process to be heard.

Any system like ours will inevitably boil down to two parties. See Duverger's Law. [en.m.wikipedia.org]
