Bernie sanders plans to continue running in the primary. What are the implications of this decision?

Yeah I could be naive here but I do think Bernie legitimately wants Biden to beat trump if Biden ends up as the nominee, which means not tearing Biden down too bad and trying to get his own fans to go out and vote for Biden in the general. None of Bernie’s messaging has been all or nothing and he’s been pretty decent about the way he talks about competitors both current and the ones who have dropped. There’s a big gap, imho, between Bernie the candidate and some of his online supporters.

But it’s not surprising that Bernie would be politically sensitive. He’s been a politician a long time in years even less friendly to his ideas. He wouldn’t be that successful if he weren’t at least a little pragmatic, and decent too.
