9. It's no longer about any fight over who will be the nominee

There can only be one nominee, and Bernie Sanders along with all of the others who ran in the primaries agrees that will be Joe Biden. Pressing different alternative candidates now would be divisive. Pressing for differing priorities for the Democratic Party is not.That is still an open process and electing representatives who support your own views is how democracy functions. If Bernie agrees that his delegates will not work to take the nomination away from Biden but instead just work to make the case for some policy priorities, I am fine with that.
