Bernie had a mass movement, then he endorsed Biden and they left.

Nope. We're still here.

What should he have done? Run a third party campaign and caused Trump to win?

And how did sheepdogging everyone back to the Democrats work out? We're here because Bernie pushed people back into the two-party system

We don’t live in a multi party system, we live in a first past the post system where running a socialist third party would just lead to republicans winning every time

And how many times will Democrats be willing to lose before finally turning to the left? Not that many I bet.
