I understand what you're saying, it just doesn't seem all that ideological to me. The idiots in this country have just come to accept that voting for the lesser of evils is how presidential elections work when it's really not the case. There is nothing "sensible and realistic" (keywords in the definition of pragmatic), about voting for the lesser of two evils when other options ARE available. Why even vote at that point?
We aren't discussing if Bernie can have an effect on things once he is in the whitehouse, we are discussing the possibility he can become president.

Whether Bernie is actually an option or not is an unknown. It would be insensible to give the presidency to conservatives (assuming you're a liberal) just to vote for Bernie (they'd have a full house too, I believe). It would be sensible to vote for Bernie if you knew he would win. It's too early to tell where we actually are, though.
