you're making an incredible error in your perception that non-voting implies passivity, as though the idea is that trump wins and everybody goes home for four years. bernie or bust is a movement to reject the ballot box as ineffectual and move strictly to civil disobedience. what it is saying is that bernie is the system's last chance to listen, before the plug gets pulled. that doesn't mean apathy. it doesn't mean go home and get drunk. it means general strikes. it means million person marches, it means total war against the state. and, frankly, if you're taking this kind of entirely antagonistic approach, it doesn't matter if it's hillary or trump. in fact, there's not even a contradiction in voting for hillary and then going out and organizing the general strike.
