Democrat US Presidential Nominations

I could probably Google this but why, as an Independent Senator, is Bernie running for the Democratic nomination?
(i)To have any hope of being elected you need either the Republican or Democrat party behind you, 80% or so of the US electorate won't vote for anyone else.
(ii)If he ran against Trump and a Democrat he'd be splitting the anti-Trump vote and handing the election to the shitgibbon.

Because the US is cursed with constitutional requirements that mean it is functionally a two-party political system, which is currently comprised of the Democratic and Republican parties.

This means you have to “be” one or the other to have any hope of winning.
