I'm never going to vote third party, just laying bare your cognitive dissonance. Either the left is a core component to the Democratic coalition and voting third party is doing incredible harm to the nation, in which case, stop complaining about trivial little comments wishing they had their preferred candidate on the ticket to represent them (in a subordinate role no less!), or they're irrelevant and they deserve to be ignored, both in their desires and in their potential voting plans.
You don't need to speculate about what the ask was, this thread was a specific ask. Maybe a silly one since Bernie is old as shit, but it's not asking for governmental miracles, it's asking for the team to have representatives from both sides. I don't expect it to happen, especially not with Bernie specifically, but the idea of energizing a large faction that faction Biden-Harris has been on shaky ground with is an entirely reasonable idea.
