I'm a Democrat, a precinct volunteer, and I know, and have met some insiders, including my former congressman and current congresswoman, and a couple of state legislators. Politics is what it is. Democrats tend to be picky at times and very issue oriented in a political time when most of that is meaningless. When it comes down to it, if its Trump that the GOP nominates, the President will easily be re-elected, because he will get the votes of Democrats, two thirds to three fourths of independents, and 10% of the GOP while another 20% of them stay home or vote third party.

Biden will get over 400 electoral votes.

More people know what is at stake than who have given into ridiculous fantasy and conspiracy.
