Interesting that you invoke the name of Hillary Clinton, wouldn’t commit to voting “Blue no matter who” until people harangued her for it.

Unlike Obama, who has kept neutral in the primary, she used her position and authority to publicly trash the candidate who will likely be the nominee, sowing division that could hurt him in the general. Sanders campaigned on 40 stops for her in 2016 and 80 percent of his voters backed her. More Clinton voters voted for McCain in 2008.

This is a liberal who threatened to use his position as a voting rights attorney to encourage black voters to sit out if Sanders gets the nomination.

And you’re honestly hand-wringing over one guy in Washington State, one of the safest states in the union, questioning whether his vote means anything?

How am I holding anyone hostage? How am I supposed to do that with my one vote that doesn’t have any power?

If anything “blue no matter who” is the real hostage situation. We’re being told that we have to accept Biden or Bloomberg or else we’re tacitly accepting Donald Trump.
