By Bernine continuing to be in the race and demanding debates even though the race has been decided will only embolden his most die-hard supporters who still believe that Bernie can still win the nomination. So, when he loses, it's the "establishment stole the nomination", or "the media hates Bernie", or "I'm voting for Jill Stein".

Instead of gracefully ending his campaign and give his supporters time to work through their emotions properly so that they're in the right frame of mind for the fight ahead, he insists on giving them this false hope that the nomination is still within reach. So, yes, he'll still have his big rallies. Still collect donations. Stoke anger and hatred towards the Democrats.

This is bad and dangerous for the party and the fall campaign.
