I agree. It is the last, abstainers, who may outnumber Democrat voters for Trump, who are the greatest concern to Democrats, and to Virtuoso

It seems to me there are two groupings of progressives to consider: The average voter, and ones with political influence.

With three choices if/when Biden wins the primary, are as follows: Biden (democratic), Trump (republican), or effectively abstain.

I was hoping to have a debate with you. I like your arguments, generally. I commit to serious debate, no person attack in disagreement, only lively opposition, and opportunity to compare different opinions with open mind. Hope you agree. Good luck

Singularity, what the hell do Jews and CNN have to do with this debate. Unless you ave something positive to contribute, be ignored.

Why do you Jews always overwhelmingly support the most pro establishment person? Do you just do whatever the fuck CNN tells you without any critical thought whatsoever
