The stakes were high: In an email to senior staff, Tulchin said that moderate voters were beginning to unify behind Biden and that the consolidation would intensify if he won South Carolina, according to people familiar with the message.
But on the stage that night, Sanders didn’t take his aides’ advice. Instead, he largely gave Biden a pass, bashed Bloomberg sometimes - but not over stop-and-frisk - and mostly stuck to his standard talking points. It wasn’t the first nor the last time Sanders eschewed his staffers’ suggestions to be more aggressive with his top rival. Their warnings proved prescient: Biden went on to sweep the day in South Carolina, unify moderates, and then carry Super Tuesday.
“Knocking out Biden was job No. 1. And even when he was down, no one went for a knockout blow,” said a top aide. “That was the problem.”
Sanders’ unwillingness to go for Biden’s jugular is just one of the decisions campaign aides are wrestling with since he exited the primary Wednesday. Despite being the best fundraiser in the Democratic field, having near universal name ID, and leading a massive volunteer army, Sanders performed worse in many ways in 2020 than in 2016.

I like the National Socialist Great Workers Party or NAZI!
I think you are right. Bernie never really wanted to be president. He could have gotten Hillary on all kinds of issues but chose not to. He could have done the same with Biden. It would have been like shooting fish in a barrel but he never pulled the trigger.
I think Bernie’s real agenda is to take over the democrat party and turn it permanently communist/socialist. I think he wants to destroy the center. If he started his own party, the dems and his new party would never get elected. If he pollutes the democrat party with extreme leftist ideology, they could hold a bigger party and would have a better chance at winning.
Bingo. He doesn’t have the stones for this. He feels more comfortable just complaining about things rather than doing anything.
Bernie is too much of a Pu$$y to go for the throat. His best play was to threaten to run 3rd party if he didnt get the RAT nomination. The RAT party would have had no choice but to go all in with Bernie.
Bernie was the “Washington Generals” of candidates.
Bernie never really wanted to win.
