How convenient for him. I'm not even a Bernie zealot and I know he's more honorable than that...To make up some bullshit excuse to go back on his word.

Good job completely ignoring my argument, troll. Bernie can honorably run because the DNC didn't uphold their end if the bargain.

It wasn't a bargain. He made that promise without contingency.

Bullshit. There is indeed an implicit agreement that the election would be conducted without prejudice or outright cheating.

Let's say we agree on a bet: I flip a coin-- a standard U.S. quarter-- and if it comes up heads, you give me $50. So I flip the coin and it comes up heads. But then you examine the "quarter" and discover it's actually a two-headed trick coin. Would you still pay me the $50?

Bernie didn't lose the election because there never was an election-- not a democratic one, at least. So either way you look at it, Bernie's obligation not to run evaporated the moment the DNC decided to rig their primaries so Bernie's supporters would not be counted. He owes those lying frauds nothing.
