Independent ticket?

Should the Democratic Party reject Bernie Sanders as its candidate for president because he is an independent socialist, then he should run as an independent just like Donald Trump is threatening in case the Republican Party doesn’t choose him as their candidate.

In a true democracy, the people should be allowed to vote for either one, seeing as how popular both independents are.
