119. I don't usually weigh in our your posts (or posts like this one)

However, I will say this. It's not my job to make you feel better about your candidates loss (no matter the candidate). It's not my job to help you get over the loss.

My job is to help get the next Democratic nominee elected. That's my job. But that job doesn't include trying to convince someone who will never be convinced to vote for my candidate to vote for my candidate. My job isn't about kissing someone's ass so they feel better. My job isn't to take insults from fellow "democrats" to no end.

A fair share of mudslinging from both sides of this primary has been going on and don't act like there hasn't--I've only recently started posting in GD : P because of this onslaught of insult slinging if you support Clinton. I've been told by fellow Democrats elsewhere (and I've read it here) that maybe I'm not really progressive, how can I be if I support HRC? Or, my favorite, I'm a war monger, just like Clinton. I could go on and on about how Sanders supporters have tried to explain to me how wrong I was about my Clinton support in both polite and impolite ways but I won't because I'm too busy working trying to get my candidate elected.

People are passionate about their candidate and because it's the Internet, some people type like fools but some people are grown-up and recognize the behavior of others for what it is and don't threaten to hold their vote hostage because they got their feelings hurt on a message board. Passive-aggressive displays of vote withholding are juvenile and do no one any good--mostly yourself. If you decide to sit this next one out, that's on you because you don't like how some people on a message board have talked about your candidate or the way some of that candidates supporters have acted towards you.
