If you really cared about progressive issues and values why would you let Trump be elected? [View all]

This behavior really confuses me. We are down to 2 candidates in the Democratic primary either of which will be a better President than Trump. Yet I see some threatening to not vote for the nominee if it is not the candidate that they currently support. This really doesn't make any sense to me. Why would anyone who does care about moving the country in a more progressive direction want to see another 4 years of Trump and the GOP? Do they really want Trump appointing 2 more Supreme Court Justices?

Maybe it is just me but I see that attitude as not really caring about issues but just wanting to be on the winning team and getting your way. Am I wrong?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
