    Bernie isn’t running because he’s consistently gotten shafted of Democrat support from the party establishment. In the 2016 primaries, the vast majority of superdelegates were in support of Clinton which impacted polling, support, morale, and voter turnout. A “democracy” where some votes are worth more than others isn’t a democracy, it’s a sham.

      All of that is true except for the reason why Bernie isn’t running.

      He absolutely does not want to give more animosity towards Biden for Trump to take advantage of. Because that happened in 2016 and it was disastrous.
