No, we'd be hearing the same thing from Sanders supporters that we're hearing from Biden supporters. It doesn't make sense that supporters of either candidate would vote for Trump in November. The difference, of course, is that polls show that Biden supporters are much more likely to support Sanders should he be the nominee than the reverse. That's been the case all along.
That's the difference between a campaign and a movement. Biden's campaign and supporters all share the same goal - defeating Trump in November. The focus of some Sanders supporters is quite often Bernie before all other considerations.
Your both-sides assertions keep missing the mark, because they're based on false equivalence.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
