“In the absence of an active Bernie campaign, we are pushing folks to vote for the delegates,” he said, noting they need at least 25% of the total delegates in order to have any of their issues considered and possibly added to the party’s platform.

he needs at least 25% of nationwide delegates to remain viable at the convention and have leverage to force his agenda items into the party platform.

but he couldnt get that measly number the old fashioned way. by getting people to actually come out and vote for you in a competitive primary.

so instead he concocted a scheme where he tells everyone that he suspends his campaign and endorses biden. but he technically doesnt drop out. and instead he gets his supporters to go out and vote for him as if he is still running. while biden supporters (and those of other candidates) have unilaterally disarmed and largely forgotten about a race they think is over.

shit is slimy as hell and hypocritical. just like him trashing superdelegates in 2016 then trying to get them to overturn the popular vote winner at the convention. he and his fans have a disdain for voter intention and democracy when it goes against them.
