1. He certainly doesn't advocate anything positive for or about the Democratic party.

I'll never understand why anyone thinks it's a good idea to do and say things that divide and weaken the Democratic party. The smears and lies and attacks only serve to create distrust and resentment, and that weakens the ONLY party that has any chance of defeating the GOP. The constant declarations that the Democrats are "corrupt" and "no different from the GOP" only creates negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

An "advocate" doesn't do that. What good purpose does it serve?

3. Bernie is running attack ads

Against Biden, even during the debate last night.

Joe is running ads that show his experience.

Bernie has lost all moral ground.

2. Sanders has lost.

4. I'm not even sure he's an advocate. If he is, he's not a terribly effective one.

Saying things people want to hear and "speaking for the underrepresented" is only a tiny part of the equation.

The real work is actually getting things done for them.

6. Bernie is a leader of a social movement. Joe is a leader of the American people.

Two completely different skill sets.
