8. "undermine efforts to beat Trump in an effort to punish Democrats for once again rejecting him"

Bernie is going to stay in through the very end and utilize every trick available to try to undermine efforts to beat Trump in an effort to punish Democrats for once again rejecting him.
That is correct. For anyone who has been paying attention for the past four/eight years to his own toxic rhetoric, smears and attacks on the Democratic party... there can be no doubt that he (and his followers) have a strong desire to "destroy the party to 'save' the party" ... that's the philosophy and intention. There is no doubt about it.

The same sentiments are echoed loudly from the chorus of high-profile supporters and official campaign surrogates. Just as before, many of them have already indicated that they will not support Biden (or that they'll "leave it blank'') or write-in some protest vote as some sort of punishment.

People like Cenk and Sarandon and West and Moore take great delight when the GOP comes out on top and actively work to hamper and dampen our efforts (presumably because the place a higher value on being able to say "told you so" rather than actually defeating the GOP.)
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
