What in the ####???
You're complaining abut something that hasn't happened and is unlikely to happen. Given the stakes I hope to god that voters don't behave like they did last election and get behind the party that best represents their core values and doesn't do something stupid and throw their vote away. But this is America, and anything is possible. But I think we should stop complaining about something that has yet to happen. At least with Bernie voters we have data and history to show this is a distinct possibility. The other perspective has not yet had a chance to show their colors.
Full disclosure. I was a Bernie supporter in 2016 and hated Clinton with the heat of 10,000 suns. Can't stand the shrew. But when it came to the election I held my nose and voted for the candidate that best represented my values. We would be much better off as a nation of everyone had done that.
