Bernie Sanders has said that he may run for president if no other progressives run. He implied that he would not run if Elizabeth Warren runs.

I think it is a good move. I am not very keen on voting for Hillary Clinton. She is too establishment. I would vote for Warren over Clinton.

The Democratic party has strayed too far from progressivism. The middle class is being squeezed and Obama has not done much more than pay lip service. If Warren does not run and Sanders runs as an independent, it may force Clinton to take a more leftist leaning stand, assuming that she is running. If Clinton did not respond much, I would vote for Sanders, even though some might see it as throwing a vote away and allowing a Republican to get in. I think it is more important for progressives to take advantage of the chance to express their viewpoint and show their numbers.
