I really can’t believe some of the answers here, and the premise of the question is just foolish. I have met Bernie, followed his career for almost three decades, and voted for him at least ten times, including in the most recent Vermont primary. Anyone who thinks the man can be threatened into anything is just an idiot. If this was my local bar I would ask him to apologize or leave, or else I would take it outside. Sanders can’t be threatened because he has lived a life of integrity, authenticity, and principle. He has no skeletons, and no real ambition beyond pushing the progressive agenda that I share with him. To say otherwise is deeply insulting, and I guess I get it from a Trump supporter because all that cretin knows is insults, but to hear it from anyone who pretends to have supported Sanders blisters my fingers. Sanders’ noble but failed race pushed the Democrats far to the left of where they have been in the past, and there is some hope, if we unite against Trump and the intellectually bankrupt Republican Party, that over the next decade we might usher in a real new progressive era. Sanders knows this. He got the best deal he could with the establishment, and if he says he is all in behind Clinton, than I am too. The idea that he could be threatened into anything—my fucking god, the man is tough as nails. Who do you think you are talking about? He’s my guy and I have his back, and don’t fuck with him unless you want to fuck with me too. I won’t list all the names of the stupid people on this strand, but you know who you are. How much of the popular vote did Hitler have when he took power in Germany in 1. If you don’t know the answer to that question you can’t talk to me—just leave this space and apologize on your way.
