Sorry it's up to the candidate to make people able to stomach voting for him/her. It should probaby tell you something about Hillary if she can't get Democrats to vote for her.

edit to add: Bullying and browbeating fellow Democrats that they must vote for her is a very poor way to support for your candidate. You should use policies and issues rather than such heavy handed tactics.

I think your real motivation is to try to find grounds on which to get people kicked off of this site.

I support Democrats when they act like Democrats, not when they act like Republicans, which is what I think of top-down economics, globalization of capital to exploit labor, mass surveillance programs, using the U.S. taxpayer funded war machine all over the world to secure cheap and unregulated access to resources for global corporations, etc.

If I vote for anyone other than the Democratic nominee in the general election, it will only be after checking to make sure such a vote won't elect a Republican, and I would never ever vote for a Republican. I live in California, which is very solidly blue, if the Democratic nominee can't carry California the nominee is doomed everywhere. I voted for Jill Stein last time, Obama was way ahead and didn't need my vote, and after I supported him with time and money in '08 I felt deceived and lied to when he showed he was actually one of the "new democrats" (his words), didn't want to vote for him again. I don't advocate for third parties, I advocate for taking the Democratic party back from the monied interests so they will be worth supporting again. It would be great if you and everyone else would join in those effforts.
