Jan 23, 2020 at 16:20	comment	added	Philipp♦		@michaelgriffin That's the momentum of the US political landscape. There are Democrats, Republicans, and those few who don't matter. Why this is the case is an interesting question, but it's a different question which should be asked separately. By the way, I just edited the answer to add another reason why it would be a bad idea for Sanders to run as an independent. This reason is one of the reason why the US election system results in two parties.
