It's Bernie, not Biden, who has the electability problem

104. Bernie would call himself a Progressive, a Liberal, and a

Democratic Socialist. He would not call himself a moderate. Biden has said he is progressive. Neither of them has referred to Biden as either a Republican or Republican light, and it really is not accurate. Biden's views are close to the middle of the country, which is why people like me call him a moderate. Bernie's views are far from the middle, which is why calling him a moderate is not accurate. Bernie is neither a moderate compared to the electorate as a whole, or even within the Democratic Party. Bernie says he wants a revolution and that he wants big structural change. All of the programs that he wants combined would cost many trillions of dollars. These are not the plans of a moderate.

No candidate, out of the 28 who announced they would run for the Democratic Nomination, is farther to the left than Bernie Sanders. In addition, Bernie's political party is the farthest to the left of the three major groups: Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. Bernie Sanders is not a moderate, and he would tell you that himself.
