He has a chance, but its not looking good per say. Honestly, if there was a debate in between now and the next set of voting I'd say Bernie definitely has a good chance but right now? Its not looking good. Biden doesn't have that big of a lead, and Biden is Biden. In other words, he's a Dementia having man whose unfit for office and continues to say things that are disqualifying, he has the worst record out of anyone to ever run for President being on the wrong side of most issues for around 40 years. Its gonna take work but the masses will need to be heavily educated about how much of a disaster Biden is and honestly, Bernie made the mistake of not airing his attack ads on Biden early. He should have gone for the kill but didn't and now the establishment has come to back Biden entirely. Its not going to be easy, its going to be a hell of a lot of work. But Bernie can win, I mean if he doesn't we see a guy with Dementia going against Trump so if your into that kind of comedy well...... yea, but Its Either Bernie is gonna win or Trump is gonna win. The election is that simple.

I don't know why you think Sanders is somehow immune from the media in November when he can't even persuade the Democratic electorate to vote for him. He is having trouble getting support in a primary with the people most ideologically aligned to himself. Where’s this mystery surge of voters for general coming from? Do you really believe Sanders would totally skate through the general without being attacked for anything he's ever done or said, and all the people who didn't come out to vote for him in the primary would usher him to a comfortable win?
There's absolutely no basis to believe that Sanders would kill it in the general and Biden wouldn't get turn out. Literally no evidence. There's coalittion right now that is turning out in giant, reliable numbers, and it isn't Sanders's. Your idea is just not based on anything other than a general feeling you have, which so far has not manifested itself in any tangible way.
Nevermind the fact that despite all of Biden's gafes, he dominated in Super Tuesday against super electable candidate Sanders. And that exit polls show his electors are just as engaged as the others concerning politics, shooting down this disengenuous idea Sanders voters are some enlightened group while Biden's are ignorant voters who can't sift through available political data.
Not to mention, what a low blow, to take on an aging man with a stutter and claim he has dementia or something to ironically try to favor the candidate who is statistically unlikely to survive the next four years, after his heart attack. If there's one thing voters have always known about Biden are his occasional oddities at public speeches because of his condition. I bet if you and all these twitter bad faith actors saw him saying Obama's name was Barrack America in 2008, you'd have been 100% sure he had lost his marbles already.
Also, concerning your point about Corbyn... eh? Is the "neoliberal" position supposed to be what the Greens and the SocLibs defended, or what the Tories defended? Either way, again, data points out the main factor was that no one really liked the dude and his policies much - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-51457739
