Probably because he understands that would split the vote on the left and virtually guarantee the White House falls back into Republican hands.
Which, frankly, I would like to avoid.
Unfortunately, we live in a two-party system that just does not allow for effective third-party runs. In any case, if Bernie ran as an independent, he would not win and as mentioned above, would likely split the democratic vote. I don’t see a problem with him now running as a democrat, he has caucused with them throughout his time in Congress. Not to mention, this being a two-party system means there are a lot of breeds in both the Democratic and Republican parties.
