11. There is no monolithic group of Sanders supporters, nor do they have official "representation."

So there is no one to answer your question. (I assuming you're not looking for 10 million answers from 10 million people... and if you are, I'm afraid only the tiniest percentage of them are here on DU.)

But if history is any guide, I think it safe to assume that somewhere between roughly 75% and 90% of them will vote for the Dem nominee (Biden), and the rest will do one of the other things you mentioned.

Some interesting relevant stats here:

Like, a study showed that 12% of 2016 Sanders voters voted for Trump, while there was also a study that showed that 25% of 2008 Hillary voters voted for McCain over Obama. Go figure...

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