Bernie for all his many faults is not an establishment tool.
Hillary is as pro establishment as it gets - of course she is opposed to him.
Either she is still planning to run, or she wants Biden or Warren to win who are also establishment tools.

Imagine Hillary being his vice president
Anyone voting for Bernie would really be voting for his Vice President. Being President at 79 means Bernie may not be around for long. So if they were smart they would be setting up his VP to take over the party.
Which means Hillary should be trying to get him to set her up as his VP. Then, like LBJ, she can have Bernie killed and take over as the official President.
Proving that they aren't just poor losers, the 104 Bernie backers are joined in the class-action lawsuit by 17 others who claim the system of choosing a nominee for the party was rigged and its chair, long-time Clinton insider DWS, is to blame.

Wow Hillary as VP means she’s one heartbeat away from the Presidency. With Arkancide as a real thing, I Wouldn’t give Joe A 10% chance of living through the first year.
Why Is Hillary attacking Bernie now?

Comes right down to it the republican party is the same thing only without the super delegates.
In American politics, a superdelegate is an unpledged delegate to the Democratic National Convention who is seated automatically and chooses for themselves for whom they vote. These Democratic Party superdelegates (who make up slightly under 15% of all convention delegates) include elected officials and party activists and officials.
Democratic superdelegates are free to support any candidate for the presidential nomination. This contrasts with pledged delegates who are selected based on the party primaries and caucuses in each U.S. state, in which voters choose among candidates for the party's presidential nomination. On August 25, 2018, the Democratic National Committee agreed to reduce the influence of superdelegates by generally preventing them from voting on the first ballot at the Democratic National Convention, allowing their votes only in a contested nomination.[1]
At least in name, superdelegates are not involved in the Republican Party nomination process. There are delegates to the Republican National Convention who are seated automatically, but they are limited to three per state, consisting of the state chairman and two district-level committee members. Republican Party superdelegates are obliged to vote for their state's popular vote winner under the rules of the party branch to which they belong.[2]
