With Michigan being such a close swing state (at least at the moment,) they know that no vote at all is a vote for Trump. They may threaten to stay home, but they know that they can’t afford to actually do it.
For communists, the issue is never the issue. H/T for recently emphasizing this: Commentator and radio show host Jessie Kelly.

Hence they don’t appear to be faithful communists.
They don’t appear to be ready to be bought out or bribed by Brandon or his ilk, or to sell out like Bernie Sanders. They may well stay home, is what This Guy is proposing.
