Bernie isn’t running. Williamson, Phillips, and Uygur were the main primary challengers. DNC refused to so much as acknowledge them, knowing they are all preferable choices to Biden for voters, but also that none would be as subservient to corporate interests as Biden.
In several documented cases, the national committee called state boards and asked them to cancel primaries altogether, regardless of whether the challengers had already met requirements to appear on ballots. Some of them did cancel primaries, like FL.
The DNC show themselves to be true hypocrites by claiming that “democracy is on the line” this election. This blatant slap in the face of voters is how the DNC is handing the election to Trump, but they will claim after losing that progressives simply didn’t vote hard enough.
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.
Only Philips was able to get even a tiny bit of support. He’s as centrist as Biden. This whole corporate conspiracy you guys love is nonsense. There’s a shitload of corporate money in politics, make no mistake, but this is a far cry from the resistance that Bernie ran into. Bernie had actual support.
How do these guys poll? Have you even listened to Dean, the one doing the best? He’s not espousing any leftist ideas you know, he’s a reach-out-to-the-repubs style dem.

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.
