This is my major worry with the 2020 election. We're not going to get a universally loved candidate by the Democratic party, it's just not going to happen. Most democratic voters aren't like me, pragmatic to the point I'd vote for a ham sandwich to get a Democrat into office over Trump. There are too many that'll get hurt feelings if their preferred candidate doesn't win the primary. We saw it in 2016 with Bernie voters jumping ship. I'm sure some of them voted for Clinton, but a majority either didn't vote (helps Republicans) or voted for Trump (REALLY helps Republicans). I doubt that we'll have many voting Trump this year if Bernie doesn't make the cut again, but I think many, possibly most will just stay home, and we need EVERY vote we can muster. The problem is that too many voters are still children in spite of being of voting age. I didn't like Clinton at all. I thought she was corrupt. But, I held my nose and voted for her anyway because I knew Trump would be a disaster. Clinton would have been merely bad, and that's the lesser of two evils. Our side is going to let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and if that happens yet again, Trump will win again.
