When I tell Democrats that I am not comfortable with Hillary Clinton and do not want her to be the Democratic nominee, I get varying responses. Some agree. Some fly into a rage. Some call me a rightwing agent. Some ask what candidates I prefer.
Often, no matter what else, the response is a question.
“But if she is chosen as the nominee, would you vote for her in the general election?”
While sometimes this question is asked in good faith, at other times it is barely veiled code for a more aggressive message:
“Talk all you want, but we’re not listening. Get in line behind the front runner and shut up, or you can’t be a Democrat.”
