I know I can't.
The hard core progressives will go to a third party candidate if they don't get Sanders or Warren. Of the two, at this point I'd prefer Sanders. Since the moderates hopefully have better sense than the extreme left, the best bet is to nominate Sanders and expect moderates to hold their noses and vote for him.
Not saying I like this, but it's the answer to the problem you pose.
From a sheer talent in leadership standpoint, I think Buttigieg is the best candidate.
