If you like a candidate but you don’t vote for them because you don’t think they’ll win nomination, you’re being played. This isn’t Oscar picks. The goal of voting isn’t to guess the winner. It’s to pick the one that best represents you. https://twitter.com/TheStagmania/status/1206265294626398209 …
I agree. But what the past several elections (2000-2016) show is that it is more important to energize and turn out the base than to win the “independent” vote. This is mostly because the electorate is increasingly partisan and there are few true independent voters.

Right but part of this problem is tactics & 'noble sentiments' to "vote your heart", only for politicians that "earn your vote" or "enthusiasm" This turns people to support non-viable 3rd Party candidates (Stein) or abandon the Nom for favorite (Bernie), and lose it all

Disagree. Enthusiasm and unity are separate issues. You need both to win. Kerry and Romney has unity with no enthusiasm, and Hillary had enthusiasm without unity. GW Bush, Obama, and Trump had both.
