Sanders Supporters: It’s Infuriating To Be Told We Have to Vote for Hillary. But We Do.

I'm in no way saying that someone should vote trump with sanders no longer being an option. However just because someone who supported Sanders refuses to vote for Clinton, does not make their support of sanders fake or just because it was 'hip.' I think it's disgraceful to speak down to anyone for what they do with their vote.

In my opinion I was into sanders for more than just his policies. I was into the kind of person he proved himself to be over the course of his life, from days protesting along side MLK, to his work in Vermont, to his refusal to take donations from the likes of wall street etc. Hillary Clinton is not the same kind of person. I understand she is better than Trump, no question. But imo she does not represent my values or care about me and my family. Again this is all IMHO.

So with that being said, I do not appreciate someone speaking down to ANYONE who finds themselves unable to vote for Clinton simply because of the fact it is who sanders says to support. My support of sanders wasn't because it was hip or any of that bullshit. For the first time I felt like there was someone running for president who actually gave a shit about Americans and not just further building their empire. I do not feel that way about Hillary, and will not vote for someone simply because who I did support is now telling me to. I will vote for someone I think cares about the average American, and at this point neither of the people on the ticket give one shit, IMO.

Fuck them both.
