2. Well, that's a very clumsy recommendation.

Why would anyone vote for a withdrawn candidate at this point? The answer is that they won't do that. People are not as stupid as you apparently think they are. Or wish they were. You know that voting for a non-running candidate helps Bernie, and that's why you are suggesting that people vote for candidates who aren't running.

Almost all voters want their vote to mean something. They're not going to throw their votes away on a candidate who is no longer running, no matter how much that might help Bernie Sanders.

Now that the primary election is down to just two serious candidates running, people's votes are for which they think is BETTER

People will not take your advice. They're too smart to fall for that.

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