In reply to the discussion: Stop acting like progressives would bear the blame for a Clinton loss. [View all]Tanuki
(14,918 posts)DU is about electing Democrats, so why act like a victim if people are strongly advocating the election of the Democratic nominee (whoever it may be) in November? Nobody can "force" you to vote for anyone, so please stop acting like you are being bullied and coerced when people point out how stupid and antisocial it would be to fail to support the Democratic nominee when so much is at stake for our country and future generations who would have to live with the fallout of Cruz- or Trump-appointed Supreme Court appointees. I would say the same thing if Hillary were lagging as badly as Bernie currently is in the polls and her supporters were pouting and threatening to write in her name, vote for a spoiler, or sit out the election, thereby raising the risk of a Republican victory. I don't assume the OP is about me, btw, but I am responding any way. This is, after all, a forum, and all are free to reply to all posts unless it is a protected group.
