In a primary between two progressive members of the same party, the
differences are relatively trivial compared to the differences between
either of them and their eventual opponent in November.
This is why the "silly season in politics", to quote Obama, is an

it should be over by next Tuesday. I will be happy to vote for either
of them in November.
