Late to the party, but OK
If Trump (or Cruz, or Ryan, or Paul, or Walker, or Brownback or anyone else in the vast rogues’ gallery comprising the XXI century GOP, but let’s assume that it’ll be Trump) is the other sides’s standard-bearer three years from now, then yes, I do want you “and every other Bernie supporter who chose to sit out or vote third party in 2016” to vote for the Democrat whether or not the candidate’s doctrinal purity meets your superlatively saintly standards, and frankly, if you’re planning to make that decision on the basis of whether I “insult” you or not, you’re way more feckless than I imagined. If the house is on fire, you don’t step out of the bucket brigade because it’s not using Perrier to fight the flames—unless, of course, you’re secretly hoping the house will burn down so that you can gloat “I told you so,” or imagine that a glorious edifice of spun sugar will magically rise on the site of the conflagration.
My political prognostications may be discounted to the extent that, like many another, I did not believe that the short-fingered vulgarian would go all the way, but for what it’s worth, I doubt that Clinton will run again, although boxley in his fever swamps (“box has a point,” as you said below? Yeah, and it fits neatly over his head) would have you believe that Soros is even now putting the fix in, but I do not doubt that whoever lands the party's nomination in 2020 will be no one you’d deign to vote for (pardon me; vote for).
It may be that the present 39% of Trump supporters represents a solid cellar floor beneath which he cannot sink. In that case, a sufficient number of people have to be sufficiently alarmed at where his gang has taken the country to get out and vote for the lesser evil (and it will always be no better than the lesser of two evils to people like you), because it’s less evil, rather than treating the election as an opportunity to make an affirmation of personal virtue. I imagine that this is the course you will—pardon the expression—elect.
Hope that cleared up your serious question.
cordially,
