14. Not doing the Pledge-y Thing. Not for anyone.

Not for "Bernie supporters", not for posters who remind me of baking ingredients and music.
Never thought I would see this ridiculous question in the Bernie Group. Sorry.

I would like to mention that, having been bombarded with boasts about how very many Democrats love and adore Hillary - I am really puzzled as to why this thing keeps popping up. As I understand it, there are 14 Bernie supporters and 17 billion Hillary worshipers, so why even care?

The other thing is, voting is supposedly secret in the US. I may volunteer how I am going to vote, but being questioned about it, especially being asked if I would vote for a Third Way icon, may not get the desired answer. Or outcome.

My current plan is to not even consider voting for Hillary, because I will not have to.
Consider my temperature, as far as HRC is concerned, as sub-arctic. In the winter. before global warming. And completely impervious to endorsements and directives from anyone. Anyone.
