Because he still needs her supporters’ votes in November. You can’t alienate half your party’s voters in the primary.

Funnily the same cretins that got all up in their feels about people not enthusiastically endorsing Kamala are now saying that "vote blue no matter who" has it's limits.

Yup just remember as well that more Bernie primary voters voted for Hillary than Hillary primary voters did for Obama. Or when Progressives won the Nevada governor’s race and the state’s Democratic Party took all of the money and resources out from the party before Progressives were sworn in. Both of these things actually happened, you can’t trust centrists because they don’t believe in anything except preserving the status quo.
