6. About 25% of Sanders' supporters will not vote for the nominee

Fortunately, 25% of 30% is a small number and can be easily replaced by centrist independents and center-right republicans very easily if Biden doesn't cave in and do something stupid like embracing medicare for all.

Embracing Bernie's policies won't win Bernie's 25% disgruntled supporters and will cost far more votes in the center.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
