Thread: How Bernie is planning to undermine Biden and help re-elect Trump

Facing criticism for remaining in the race for 30 days during a pandemic with no path to victory, Bernie had to do something to remain the “wedge” or “spoiler” candidate.

Here’s what he’s done, and why...
Yesterday, Bernie “suspended” his campaign, but it’s a suspension in name only. Not only did he not endorse Biden, Bernie emphasized in this speech that he is staying on the ballot and wants people to keep voting for him to maximize his leverage over Biden.
By merely suspending his campaign and encouraging his supporters to keep voting for him instead of Biden, Bernie is giving his supporters hope that he still has a chance and is keeping them from throwing the weight of their support toward Biden.
So long as Bernie’s supporters refuse to support Biden, Bernie has leverage to try to force Biden to do things to win Bernie’s endorsement, even if those things hurt Biden’s chances against Trump.
For example, if Bernie’s supporters switched to Biden immediately, Biden could pick a VP to maximize his chances against Trump. But by holding his supporters hostage, Bernie can try to force Biden to pick a VP to please his supporters even if that VP weakens Biden against Trump.
And Bernie has made the threat explicit through his surrogates. His campaign spokesperson explicitly threatened last night to “go after” Biden if Bernie doesn’t get what he wants (which Bernie’s surrogates and his Russian troll and bot army have been doing all along anyway): https://twitter.com/briebriejoy/status/1248126784274665472
Bernie will keep extorting Biden by withholding his endorsement until Biden accedes to all of his demands. And since Biden will never accede to all his demands, he’ll never get Bernie’s endorsement or, like in 2016, the CPR will be administered to the victim’s corpse.
Bernie also is still accepting campaign contributions, meaning his supporters won’t be giving money to Biden and they will continue providing funds to keep Bernie’s goon squad, like @briebriejoy, on the payroll and allowing them to make the threats Bernie can’t make himself.
Bernie is Lucy holding the football for Biden. By the time Biden gets to kick it, if ever, the damage will have been done. You can see it on Twitter. Not only are Bernie supporters not flocking to Biden, they are continuing to attack Biden with the venom we’re accustomed to.
And Bernie’s goon squad continuing to attack Biden gives cover to his army of Russian bots and trolls to continue their attacks as well. They flock to reply to any Bernie thread.

Speaking of which, hi Svetlana, hi Boris. Remember to stay six feet apart in the troll farm!
Bernie will keep panning the DNC and working his cult into a frenzy about the “Democratic Establishment” being out to get him. That’s always been his game. He’s a pied piper populist luring in unsuspecting cult members with fantastical promises of free everything. He’s a conman.
Here’s my advice: Don’t pander to Bernie Sanders. It won’t work. You’ll never convince him and his goons to do the right thing because they already know what the right thing is and they don’t want to do that. They want to undermine Biden and help re-elect Trump. It’s intentional.
Mueller warned us that Putin supports Bernie. Bernie’s campaign is false flag operation. He’s a Russian asset working to re-elect Trump.

Some day Bernie will be investigated and prosecuted. So long as he remains at large, he’s a menace to society.
