People don't idealize Bernie because there is no way to pay for his ideas that is plausible. I voted for him and I would vote for him again, but the Democratic establishment is hanging by a thread against a Republican voting bloc that votes staunchly along party lines. The evangelicals voted for the Russian connected pussy grabber because he would put a conservative in the SCOTUS. Liberals listened to the Russians on Facebook and vilified a perfectly reasonable, if flawed centrist policy wonk and turned her into a "money grabbing" witch.
Splitting the vote means more GOP. Their vote isn't going to split. While liberals and progressives fight over who once voted for a war or against a bill or took money from an investor and how evil their candidate is---and this will happen no matter who the Democrats' nominee is---the GOP will line up and vote for whoever their candidate is, and we will lose.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
