Maybe for the same reason that Christie and Carson are kissing up to a guy who treated them like garbage and called them every insulting name in the book.

How can you fight establishment from inside, playing by its rules?
Wouldn't it be effective, fair and honest to become a third party candidate, because his platform isn't really a Democratic Party platform? And by doing so take away essential votes from both Hillary and Trump?

And he no longer mentions her support for the Iraq War, NAFTA, TPP, etc.

We know, and Bernie must also know, that Clinton is a person who would make any promise just to get elected. Once being elected, she can do whatever she wants not to fulfill her promise.
Probably because he doesn't want to undermine the Democratic Party, even though they undermined him.

Bernie had a blast, the best time of his life! He was at the center stage, when very few heard of him before. His "15 min of fame", would he give it up? Now he can peacefully retire in FL.

And their hard earned money.

I hope Bernie will not let Clinton touch even a penny of our donations to his campaign.

Could be the DNC told him to support Hillary or forget any future support. Bernie being a man with 0 success in the private sector before politics new he would be a popper in no time and decided to play ball.

Future support? The man turns 100 in a few weeks, he has no future. His future is pablum in the retirement home..
Turn out the lights, the parties over....

I want the $5 I donated to his failed campaign back. *sigh* Political hoars are a dime a dozen, I don't need to pay $5 for 1.

Quid pro quo ...

The loser gets all their campaign debt potentially handled... They get sweetheart deals to personally enrich themselves...concessions for their base

Corrupt politics

I don't think Trump will be paying any of Cruz's debt...and the rnc at this point won't be jumping enthusiastically on that train either
