I think that’s exactly what the campaign manager is counting on. I think they are going to leave the Bernie bro’s behind and focus on the moderate conservatives. It might work but I don’t really see Biden as a candidate to vote for, it’s really for or against trump.

It's a reasonable campaign strategy. Independents decide general elections. If Bernie bros can't be persuaded by Bernie, there's less chance they'll be persuaded by Biden. They didn't really come out to vote anyway, and have possibly been over-hyped as a block. Loud on the internet, but not so loud at the polls.

Bernie Bros proved themselves in 2016 to be enthusiastic useful idiots, and unfortunately their 2020 posture appears to be, "Hold my beer..." They may not vote on large numbers, but that loud internet presence can't be discounted.
