    Yeah, the question isn’t who Democrats will vote for. It’s who independents will vote for. And there are a lot of independents.

    Relying on the “Never Trump” vote to win this election feels like a terrible risk.

      We don’t have democracy anymore.

      First, the SCOTUS ruling did away with that last week, but let’s ignore that for now…

      We have a fascist authoritarian in charge who refuses to even consider stepping down until he dies - certainly he is not going to let the people decide who gets to be the Democratic nominee - vs. someone who will become a dictator for life and do the same, but somehow much, MUCH worse.

      I hope that many people vote Blue No Matter Who… yet I fear that many independents won’t.

      The question is who will turn out to vote. The number of “independents” who don’t overwhelmingly vote republican or democratic is vanishingly small. This is found time and time again. Ultimately it’s a question of which electorate turns out and which is demotivated enough not to.
