I highly doubt Bernie gets on the ticket. The DNC is rigged. As we saw from the last few elections.
Being pro-war, against universal health care, against getting money and Wall Street out of politics, among other stances, seems to be the extremist stance, given the viewpoints of many Americans. Biden and all the Dem candidates, minus Bernie and Gabbard (who is still in the race) and Yang, should be considered the extremists.

Biden certainly didn't seem to think Bernie was an extremist in 2016:
