Bernie has beaten Trump in every poll for 4 years and is still ahead of him by almost as much as Biden (who is Diet Trump) but it's a utopia to have Bernie? If people want him they can have him. He does great with Independents who are becoming a bigger and bigger slice of the electorate, has some crossover appeal as seen by the response to Joe Rogan and has the youth vote who are the future. Undermining him is just taking away the best chance to beat Trump. I think if Bernie can win the primary (which is the real fight) he would almost certainly win the general.

And please don't say he hasn't been vetted, daily smears and attacks from every media site and pundit for 4 straight years 24/7 is the strongest vetting possible.
