Bernie Sanders, please don't be Ralph Nader 2016

Holy Hanging Chads, I am terrified!

I heard on the news that Bernie Sanders supporters are urging him to run as a Green Party candidate if he doesn't (and it appears he won't) get the Democratic Party's nomination.

This is terrible news if he decides to go along with the idea.  Unless the Republicans also spin off an independent campaign, this could let Trump (gasp!) win the election and become our next (and maybe last) freely-elected President.

The unthinkable will become reality.

Ralph Nader, with nothing but good intentions and essentially correct ideas managed to aid and abet the debacle that was Bush Junior's administration through stubborn refusal to see the clear and present danger of his times.

Please Bernie (and your supporters), please don't fail to see it this time.  Please put love of your fellow countrymen ahead of ideology, at least this time around.
