those would also cause him to become a spent force, politically. The man has had a long career and the reason he has is because he capitulates when he needs to. You may not like it, but you can go support all the other leftist politicians who didn't and don't have careers anymore instead
if I thought bernie suicide bombing the DNC to no affect would advance the cause of the working class I'd be right on board with you but seeing as we're still getting gains from his advocacy I'd say him not having done that years ago was a good thing, as now
Running as an independent wouldn't have won. It's highly likely it would have spawned decades of bitterness towards the left, too -- look how long Ralph Nader was used to browbeat spoiler candidates.
Sometimes there are no good options. That's what losing gets you.
