I still maintain Bernie should run independent. The DNC ensures he will never win the primary, and it was proven by the email leak back in 2016 which is why no one voted for Hillary.
Maybe we could find a 50 yo with Bernie's values and he could be on their cabinet. Idgaf about vibes, but maybe we could put someone in that's not on deaths door?
In a first-past-the-post system, an independent only ends up stealing votes from the mainstream candidate that's closest to their position. He'd undermine the Democratic candidate, making a Republican win more likely. He's smart enough not to want to do that.
