After Bernie Sanders' landslide Nevada win, it's time for Democrats to unite behind him

Correct, they were forced to compromise with Bernie. I don't disagree with you, mind you. But those rules are the rules that everyone entered the race understanding. If Dems don't like the rules of their party, still, then they should continue to fight for change, while following them.

I won't hold following the rules against anyone. But the best way for Bernie to avoid any question of that is simply to win decisively.

If he can't, but is the clear favorite, then it's up to the supers if they want to chance enraging their members. That's a whole lot different than 2016 where they could announce early and derail a campaigns momentum from the get go.

Remember that a Party is not a part of government and a party doesn't have to have primaries. It can just announce a candidate... As most 3rd parties do. The GOP is now a significantly smaller party because it doesn't have any mechanism for derailing a demagogue. So.. there's good and there's bad no matter how you do it.
