it already looks dumb, and surprise surprise, he underestimated Bernie (or intentionally ignores him, which is perhaps more likely i think)

Or... he's properly evaluating the evidence. Why do you think Nate "intentionally ignoring" Bernie is more likely?

Because even putting Bernie in a "1C" tier with a bunch of people with far less name recognition after he won ~20+ states in 2016 is complete nonsense. I don't doubt that 538/Nate is a good statistician, so the alternative must be that there is a bias against Bernie. It sure seemed like there was in 2016, and it doesn't seem any different now.

I guess another alternative is that Nate is factoring in the Dem party trying to rig the nomination / sabotage Bernie

Or I suppose he strongly underestimated Bernie's likelihood of running
