That's not unique either, of course. There is always a subset of voters who won't vote because their candidate didn't win the nomination. It happens every cycle. We just have to account for it and ignore the ones who are intent on disruption and won't show up regardless.

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