If Sanders made a third party nobody would ever shut the fuck up about stealing votes from Democrats and putting Republicans in power forever.

If Bernie genuinely created a working class party like PSL, and adopted genuinely leftist politics as the base platform, then liberals would of course contest that but leftists would likely around it. If it was just a socdem party like the greens, though, then they'd likely see the same reaction they do.

He is okay with Imperialism as long as the government gives him free healthcare. Look at his track record on Israel.

Oh I'm aware, that's why I said he'd have to adopt genuinely leftist politics, rather than sheepdogging for imperialism.
