I think a 3rd party would have just cemented republican control of everything. Bernie knew that. It’s better to try to take over the Democratic Party with his idea. He was playing the long game. I still have hope though.
I understand MAGA managed to take over the Republican party, but you need funding. Big oligarchical levels of funding to be able to take over a primary party - It was the highway or no way
