One underrated reason I think Bernie is going to win the nomination: He, and his movement, seem to offer a way out of the culture wars that we've found ourselves trapped in.
All the culture-focused Dem candidates - Harris, Gillibrand, O'Rourke, Castro - basically went down in flames, leaving two economics-focused Dems and one moderate/centrist Dem. To me that suggest a grassroots desire to shift from cultural to economic issues.
To be clear, Bernie is definitely not the candidate or the president I would choose (I'd choose Warren). I'm just trying to think out loud about the root causes of Bernie support that I see among people I encounter online and IRL.
In the end, I will of course bow to the will of the electorate, and I'll vote for whoever the Dems nominate, be it Biden, Sanders, or anyone (except maybe Gabbard!).

If we run Bernie, then Bernie it is.
