Your binary analysis makes sense, Shoulders. Thanks for articulating it.

But what about the Democratic voters? A thread posted a little later than yours reports that tens of thousands of Senator Sanders' supporters will leave the Democratic Party if Hillary Clinton wins the nomination:

Most likely, each side will coalesce around their party's nominee and perhaps some on each side will choose not to vote. In the end and in every race, I think it's most important to elect a Democrat rather than a Republican.
