It is about supporting actual, on the ground, Democrats wishes.
That's what the primaries were for. We now have a winner. We already know what the Democrats wishes are.


this is only about voting for the overall platform,
This type of grandstanding and showboating... whining, disruptive and sore-loser behavior serves no good purpose.

It only creates division and distrust. Their negativity generates apathy. Apathy generates complacency. Complacency discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.
