They're not all bad, IMHO.

Sometimes they suck though.

the desperation is getting thick around here.

Here that sound?
It's Joe's footsteps coming up on Bernie's six.

he can win. I think he will sink House candidates. That's my only scare. Nothing personal. His politics dosent play well in middle America. Plus, I think his rhetoric is decisive and very condensedning of this party.

did the most damage was when he bailed out of the party after the 2016 elections and went back to being an Independent.
Had he stayed in he would probably be in a better position with the Democratic voting base than he is now as I am willing to bet that at least some Democrats consider him to be little more than a carpetbagger that only wants to be a Democrat when he is looking to run for higher office and that makes building trust with the voters harder.
Like it or not that is probably what hurt him the most as every vote counts when you are trying to win a political party's nomination.

He's got a ceiling of about 30% in the Democratic party, let alone in the country as a whole.

Any more than I see people voting for Bernie as a revolution.

People make their choices. Based on record, personality and viability. Those voting for Biden think he is better than Bernie in those categories.

That's all.
