        A bunch of his supporters seem to have wanted Trump then.

      If Bernie didn’t do that it would have been a guarantee that Trump won. The DNC wasn’t going to run anyone else so that was the only thing he could do. I’m not saying I’d do it myself, personally, but I understand the position he found himself in.

      As usual, nuance/context is a thing.

          “guarantee that Trump won”

          Words mean things. It was not guaranteed that Trump was going to win when he endorsed Harris.

            I think he’s talking about 2016

            Considering Bernie was more popular than Clinton, it was more likely Trump would win after he quit

          Bernie’s not a stooge. He wanted the better side to win, even if it wasn’t him at the helm.

        Reminds me of the people saying that if he didn’t let the DNC rig the primary against him in 2016 then Trump would have won.

        Good thing that decision resulted in Trump not winning, right?

          Trump beating Clinton doesn’t mean Sanders would have won. What a baseless argument.

          And nothing was “rigged”. Stop being blue MAGA.

            No, but his polling that was better than Clinton in red state supports the belief that he would have won.

            Also, it was rigged, Bernie sued the DNC arguing that it was. The DNC pretty much admitted it as their defence:

            “…the DNC and Wasserman Schultz have characterized the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts.”
