The problem with Bernie is that he loses, and then is a very shit loser.
If he contests and loses again, as is most likely, then he needs to act like a fucking adult and throw the full force of his political clout and influence behind whoever gets the nomination, without equivocation or qualification.
His participation in the primary could be a valuable influence, ensuring that the Democratic Party isn't just an echo chamber, and putting some varied policy items into the debate. But if he loses? Time to nut up and get in line.
Or he could be a massive whiny arsehole with massive whiny arsehole followers, and y'all can have another four years of Cadet Bone Spurs.
