I don't see why this is an issue?

If a majority of Democrats were unhappy that their votes were being split between several candidates, why is it not logical to pick a candidate (which became obvious after SC) and rally behind said candidate?

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