Isn't the only possibility to create a counterweight to Bernie an announcement of Joe Biden that he will serve just one term and Buttigieg will be his running mate? Wouldn't that make a lot of sense.

Now please educate me on how this is an awful idea :)

One more point--Black voters are at the moment expected to turn out for Biden in good numbers. If he carries it in SC, that will likely continue. That is his edge over every other candidate.

But not with Buttigieg as VP.  There is a risk he might cancel a significant fraction of the black vote for Biden.
