One of the theories is that it's actually just a way to make a "contribution" to the DNC. A private citizen is only allowed to donate a relatively low amount of money to a campaign/organization. By "running" for president as a Democrat and already vowing not to attack any other Dems with his news organizations or ads, he's technically donating whatever money he spends on his campaign to the DNC.
If I remember correctly, Trump spent around $40M of his own money throughout the entire primary process. Bloomberg has already spent $30M on campaign ads in just one week or so attacking Trump. So by running, he's allowed to use an unlimited amount of his funds creating attack ads against Trump during the primary season which is a way to circumvent the rules on how much you can donate to a political organization. Take that theory as you will.
I think the reason they're having so many people run is because of their voter turn out strategy. They're just trying to get as many people politically engaged as possible to try to get them to the polls to vote against Trump, rather than for anyone.
That's why they have 127 candidates, and they constantly harp on about the one greatest unifying factor between the fractured factions on the left, hating DJT.
I do actually think Biden is only running to protect against being investigated for his obvious corruption though. And I also think his senility and constant gaffes are a strategy. He's trying to appear harmless and non-threatening to reduce anger toward him when he is inevitably outed as corrupt and the others turn on him as a scapegoat, even though they're just as corrupt.
