I think he's just a sacrifice, IMO. A gambit to install a democrat through election fraud, with the understanding that if things fall apart, and Trump gets re-elected even with the fraud, that it will effectively end Joe Biden's career. In other words, nothing of value is being risked, and if he wins they 25th him and install Kamala and they can even insert a VP of their choice. Effectively bypassing the desires of democrat voters and putting anybody they want into power, without them being subjected to any rigors of campaigning or scrutiny.
These aren't just democrats, they are the establishment democrats. There are different factions within the democrats, and there has been massive resentment for at least a couple of decades because the establishment (deep state) democrats don't represent the democratic voters, but they still win because the alternative is an establishment republican instead, which is even worse.
They don't really have any good people that are establishment democrats to really throw up there. Most of them are just fucking terrible and are really disliked by the democrat base. Kamala is just an example. A lot of democrats didn't like Hillary either.
While you are right about Bernie having a lot of support, he's not part of the establishment. He plays ball with them, cause that's politics, but he's not part of their cabal and they really don't want him in power. Bernie is the Trump of the left, and Trump has heavily wrecked the establishment republicans power base. Romney, once the republican nominee, is now hated by a lot of republican voters. Same with many of the other establishment republicans, who are neverTrump and endorse Biden.
Establishment, deep state, uniparty, etc. whatever you want to call them, have lost control of the republicans and Trump has liberated the right. They are bunkered down on the left now, and a Bernie win would result in them being ousted from power. They definitely would rather Trump win than lose their hold over the democrats.
Better to cheat and steal the election with a loser like Biden, or, if they fail, then they can blame Bernie's policies for why they lost.
