... the fact that Sanders supporters, O'Malley supporters, and those who would support Warren if she ran do not constitute "being all-in for Hillary" people, do they?

Stating that all Democrats should support the nominee, no matter who it turns out to be in the end, can hardly be construed as "bullying and browbeating" people into voting for HRC. I, along with many, many people here, have said we will support Bernie (or anyone else) who ends up being the (D) candidate.

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

DU became a free-for-all site years ago. I no longer care who posts here and who doesn't. I don't know how you think I could get anyone "kicked off this site". I never alert on anything, because the jury system is an exercise in pointlessness. So how you think I could contribute to anyone being "kicked off" is beyond me. Besides, what purpose would it serve? Everyone knows that the tombstoned simply come back within 48 hours under a different name.

This thread is about how people would react to a Bernie endorsement of Hillary, and I opined on the topic. Where you get the "use of policies and issues rather than such heavy handed tactics" makes absolutely no sense. It has nothing to do with the discussion at hand - nor do I see encouraging all Dems to rally around the eventual nominee as a "tactic", heavy-handed or otherwise.
