It appears as if this creature actually derives enjoyment from telling what appears to be a non-Hillary supporter that he must vote for her in November.
What's more, it is legitimately puzzling, because I was told that a) young white men are Bernie Bros who militantly support their candidate b) Bernie supporters are racist while Hillary supporters are PC as a peach. I'm so confused after watching these videos, trying to reconcile them with the media talking points.
This part in particular stuck out to me:
I thought only Bernie supporters could be tone-deaf and treat voters as a monolith to be won and used as prizes.

(1,937 posts)She's not winning my lack of a vote, then again shes' not winning my financial support ( i can do potato soup 2 days a week to send Bernie some dough ) or my support.
same applies from discussions with the 10 or so work mates i have at my 2 jobs

As for being told what to vote
i told one person who used a threat... that it constitutes terrorism by fbi definition to threaten violence against the public to change public opinion
https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/terrorism/terrorism-definition
"Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:
Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

I think it's funny now that they are sure she's going to win the primary- the mask has really come off.
