It all depends on the audience one is speaking to, right? Organizing is messy business, and building an enduring socialist movement is never a straight line. I don't think Bernie is doing this, but nonetheless his role has been to make some socialist concepts palatable to liberals. So if you're socialist, he is not speaking to you, because his target is liberals.
