They'll just rig the primary again. They did in 2016 and flat out admitted it in court. Then in 2020 remember Super Tuesday and how Bernie was all set to win and mysteriously lost big? The DNC rigged the primary to put up literally the only person in the US who could lose against Donald Trump. Court Concedes DNC Had the Right to Rig Primaries Against Sanders
On August 25, 2017, Federal Judge William Zloch, dismissed the lawsuit after several months of litigation during which DNC attorneys argued that the DNC would be well within their rights to select their own candidate. "In evaluating Plaintiffs' claims at this stage, the Court assumes their allegations are true - that the DNC and Wasserman Schultz held a palpable bias in favor of Clinton and sought to propel her ahead of her Democratic opponent," the court order dismissing the lawsuit stated. This assumption of a plaintiff's allegation is the general legal standard in the motion to dismiss stage of any lawsuit. The allegations contained in the complaint must be taken as true unless they are merely conclusory allegations or are invalid on their face.
Making the DNC take their mask off in order to explicitly defend the wealthy isn't a bad thing. I don't know how many times we have to do this dance before we convince a critical mass of people to lose faith in elections but we aren't there yet.
Yeah its good if this happen but a third sanders campaign , if thats its usefuleness, shouldnt hog large amounts of manpower, focus, time and founds from American leftist orgs and activists. But it will , for a year no less. Is it worth it ?
I imagine he'd really lean into recent union victories, giving them a prominent voice during a campaign season. Bernie campaigns always pull some baby leftists into the pipeline, too. I don't think we'd be in a worse position if he ran.

The DNC is beyond corrupt, look at all the outrageous stunts they pulled during the convention . The RNC isn't immune either, they did the same things to Ron Paul delegates. Remember the anti-Semitic Bernie Sanders shirts the DNC had on sale at the gift shop?
