I sat out as a Sanders supporter. I am sure I am not alone.

EDIT:

1. I viewed Sanders support of Clinton as forced/coerced, as in "We let you compete in the Democratic primary, now you owe us". EDIT 2: By agreeing to support Clinton, she adopted some of his left leaning policies (in show only though, such as not supporting fracking or the TPP).

2. Of course I voted down ballot.

EDIT 3: Getting really tired of these HN throttling limits.



After Hillary became the Democratic candidate, what was Sander's incentive for doing endorsing and continuing to support Hillary? What leverage would force/coerce him? He had at least two other options: remain silent, or endorse Trump.


Well, the WikiLeaks revealed they had some sort of "agreement" with leverage although I don't know exactly what it was.


How did you view Sander's support of Hillary?


Did you at least vote down-ballot?


A lot of my friends did the same.
