He's not rolling this time. Bank on it. He just doesn't lower himself to their level. Not playing that game. Because, unlike the DNC and their selections for us, he actually cares about beating Trump and about this country more than what's in it for him. Truly a public servant.
That said, I agree it's high time he removed the gloves completely and knocked Joe so far down the DNC's hopelessly corrupt throat their head spins off.
DNC Declares War on Sanders…Again
DNC Declares War on Sanders...Again - CounterPunch.org
". . .Let’s be real about Sanders, however. He has already promised to endorse whoever the eventual DP nominee might be. That would be consistent with his 2016 endorsement of Hillary Clinton, and he went on to campaign for her at dozens of rallies. Clinton now renews her campaign of sabotage and slander against Sanders in 2020. Tom Perez, head of the DNC, recently selected a roster of corporate apparatchiks as nominees to the DNC.
There is a hard core of the old guard within the Democratic Party that is determined to stop Sanders even if that means a second term for Trump. Proving that long term “bipartisan” politics are an internal balancing mechanism of the corporate state. Sanders has raised hopes of a political revolution among his followers, but that torch must really pass to the young.
2020 will be a year of reckoning, not simply in whether career pols in the Democratic Party pull down their partisan temple on their own heads, but in the actual class struggles that do not respect party lines and electoral schedules.. . ."

Declaring support for the eventual party nominee is just standard, no brainer politics. Party voters obviously want that. The DNC continuing its war against Sanders remains what's disgusting. I have no idea what I said that you appear to be taking issue with?
You are missing the point.
When Dukakus ran against Biden, he was allowed to open all barrels to get the nomination. Why? b/c they both had the backing of the establishment.
OTH, if Bernie wants to maintain his perks, he had better not step out of line.
He won't be allowed to go low, b/c he knows he won't be allowed to ever be the nominee, he is a prog. sheep dog, shepherding in the hard left, that is his only job. If he wants to maintain his cushy assignments and power in the Senate, he will do as he is told.
It is only an illusion that he is a hero of the people, when in fact, he is a pawn of the corporate elites.
THAT is what you do not really get. If he were genuine, he would have supported that lawsuit vs.
DNC SERVICES CORPORATION, d/b/a DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE, and DEBORAH “DEBBIE” WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. As it were, he did not care one whit. It was not in his personal interest. His vaunted integrity is but an illusion.
Okay, kudos for finally attempting to make an argument.. but it completely lacks substance.
One finding from the case you cite reads thus:
To the extent Plaintiffs have asserted specific causes of action grounded in specific factual allegations, it is this Court’s emphatic duty to measure Plaintiffs’ pleadings against existing legal standards. Having done so, and for the reasons that follow, the Court finds that the named Plaintiffs have not presented a case that is cognizable in federal court.
In others word, their case sucked as presented. Since the complaint in general clearly had loads of merit one must conclude that the lawyers responsible were poorly prepared to argue in federal court. They asked for stupid things the court couldn't legally provide and nothing that it could. No wonder Sanders wasn't terribly interested. If he simply wanted "to maintain his cushy assignments and power in the Senate, he" wouldn't risk running in the first place. He'd have switched to being a permanent Democrat by now. Duh. Bernie has been in public saying the same things decade after decade. Written books. He's been YouTube interviewed countless times. Anyone who actually cares can see, has seen, him quite plainly. You can't simply reduce him to a party lapdog by spitting cheap smear you clown. He's a genuine Independent who's been trying his damnedest to repair the Dem Party from the inside. The voters aren't the problem. The Machinery requires the overhaul. He accepted that mission long ago. Just imagine.. a true public servant. Horrors!
You and I have no disagreement there.
With that said however, the Courts were only looking at past precedent, and were not looking at making any new precedent, nor were they looking at rectifying the blatant bias of the DNC. Likewise, they needed actual proof that given the ruling the plaintiffs lawyers desired, such a ruling would rectify the supposed harm the plaintiffs maintained, none could be provided.
So, they looked to rule on a technicality, the composition of the class and the relief sought as a standing issue.
The main gripe Sanders supporters have, and onto which this whole thing always hinges, which the corporate media covers up, and which this case has been buried, is the blatant bias. So many on the left continue to parrot the chestnut that the primaries were "fair," and "impartial," or that they are this time. When the fact is, it does not matter who the democratic people vote for, the party elites have the right to choose whomever they want.
Just because Sanders supporters did not receive their donations back? Does not mean this ruling was a loss. In fact, quite the opposite. The court admitted what they needed it to admit. The corporate media just buried the headline, to which YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
THE DNC SERVICES CORPORATION has the right to choose whomever it wants as their candidate, regardless of what democrats may desire.
Also from the judgement;
". . The Court thus assumes that the DNC and Wasserman Schultz preferred Hillary Clinton as the Democratic candidate for president over Bernie Sanders or any other Democratic candidate. It assumes that they stockpiled information useful to the Clinton campaign. It assumes that they devoted their resources to assist Clinton in securing the party’s nomination and opposing other Democratic candidates. And it assumes that they engaged in these surreptitious acts while publically proclaiming they were completely neutral, fair, and impartial.. . "
What is equally outrageous is the behavior of the court, the judge and the establishment during these whole proceedings. You would only know this if you followed coverage and listened to those who handled it. What has been said (off record) to the plaintiffs lawyers, has been shockingly frank, and well, depressing. I am afraid you are writing on stuff which you have no knowledge of.
