In First past the poll, this makes sense. But I don't get the value of it in RCV.

Any case, as progressives, it's not surprising that the establishment Democrats will do everything to try and stop him from winning. I suspect they even try to railroad him if he wins. But I hope they can fight against this and connect to working class voters on the fundamentals. Its simple, sincere, and honest.

Edit: okay, the general election is FPTP. Both of the men self centered and arrogant, but I think they each have their price. I wouldn't be surprised if a month before the ballots are mailed, one drops out.
