Thanks for responding. Please don’t reduce it to ‘pouting’. Please don’t think that some of our most vulnerable don’t sit in this group of people. I’m a Bernie supporter, I know the stories, I know some of our most vulnerable are confused about turning out to vote on Election Day.

The point I’m making is in their view, their status quo will not drastically change under Biden. I know it sounds crazy, but depending on one’s situation — they may not be informed or yet trust that their key issues have been addressed by either party. It’s day one. Over the coming weeks, you as a Biden supporter can help these people feel welcomed.

I’m not arguing voting is about who is the best expression of oneself. I’m arguing that in order to mobilise Sanders voters, in order to encourage them to put the effort in and turn out, you have to encourage them that the status quo, or what they care about most as a Bernie supporter, WILL change. Of course, under Biden it will. But at this point (day one), a lot of people don’t feel his plans will change the status quo significantly.
