    Very rarely do our 2 major parties agree on anything.

    Near the top of the two main parties they agree. Just look at TTIP.

    You need a diverse range of views for a healthy democratic system to work correctly.

    Well, looking at it from a purely tactical thought, it's actually a pretty good move.

    1. Hilary's main tactic is to run down her opponents. Sanders continues to be civil and respectful, gaining points that Hilary can't really get.

    2. He actually looked like more of a leader.on her scandal than she currently does.

    3. People are tired of the backbiting, so Sanders not only refusing to go negative, but being a positive force in his opponent's corner when needed puts him as a nice guy, and really, that's gonna pull him a bunch of votes, even more so if he gets the nod and has to contend with Trump.

    Whereas we have two large parties that don't form coalitions, and do the same thing. No one can ever get anything passed anymore. Time for some new blood.

    Are you kidding? The two parties we have suck. Why would we want another?
