Do you ever tire of creating silly straw-men to argue with?

I browsed in the IHE article, but thought it was rather trivial. Then I came
across the pollywogs on this list preening themselves on their superiority to a
handful of undergraduates. What pomposity, and I couldn't resist pricking it.
Are you searching the web for some third-graders to mock?

Louis, in the name of Debs, would say your Sanders supporter would be
wasting her vote. She should instead be throwing her support to Green
candidate Jill Stein. I'd put greater odds of your friend engaging with
your
question than wanting to pursue his tortured rationale for the Green
Party.
Louis puts great store on the Democratic label and history (as though
the
Greens would somehow behave differently than other left-centre parties
if
they came close to vying for government) while disdaining the unfolding
political differentiation within and around the party and the
opportunities
it presents to consistently provide the kind of opening you describe.
