Some whales don’t want to vote for certain people because of personal preference or old feuds or whatever, which imo is childish in a time like this. Also if you look at https://steemd.com/@proxy.token they are only voting for 4 of us intentionally to prevent justin from hardforking, but they don’t yet want to commit to vote all old witnesses in either so we don’t get consensus either, bit of a stalemate.

I see. I hope they are aware that he can out purchase us and soon their stake won't mean anything and will not be the tie breaker.
