(4,187 posts)I don't care who you vote for. I don't even know you. What I posted is the simple truth. It's pretty ridiculous to use the word "coerce" to refer to someone posting on an internet message forum.
It's funny that Bernie supporters think Hillary "needs" them and seem to expect her to personally beg them for their vote. That's why I posted what I did: to point out that if Hillary loses the election, she will go off and live happily with her family, knowing she has spent her life working hard for her country. All the Bernie supporters who brag about their refusal to vote for her, on the other hand, will have to live with the policies of President Trump, which will probably hurt them a lot more than they will hurt Hillary.
It's happened once already in 2000. Some of us learned something from that experience. Some of us didn't, or were too young to notice.
