Both of those candidates are Democrats for all intents and purposes. Vermont is an incredibly unique situation given that an independent has virtually no chance on any level anywhere else.
If you can never miss an opportunity to generalize about the only group doing any damn thing good ever, you're either doing it on purpose for a pro-republican reason, or you're ignorantly shooting yourself in the foot. You're actively discouraging votes.
Which is it? Or do you just want to take this as another opportunity for an idiotic conspiracy theory about how AOC is actually fucking Alex Jones and is working to exterminate the Jews or some shit?
You can't accept that independent does not mean democrat.
Process reality
Internalize reality
Until there are canidates who support the working class that are allowed to make meaningful change then people will continue to lose faith in the political process.
So Bernie was running as an independent for president then? Whoopsie, he wasn't, conspiracy person
