I agree that he should not have endorsed Hillary, but being on the Dem's ticket, I still don't think he had a choice.

No!
It was completely his choice to be a sell-out rather than instruct his supporters not to vote for America's most corrupt politician who RIGGED HIS ELECTION! Let me be clear: no other politician is American history has taken more lobbyist cash / bribes than Hillary Clinton... and Sanders decided to support her!
Sanders was completely free to do whatever he wanted, but what he wanted was the career perks of remaining part of the corrupt criminal DNC enterprise... a group that commits domestic terrorist attacks against peaceful Americans attending Trump rallies!
Either way, it's dishonest of you to claim that Sanders was forced to sell out like a little bitch who was too weak or greedy to stand up for the American public... because that's like claiming that McDonald's forces gluttonous people to get fat!
Adults are responsible for their own actions and Sanders is responsible for behaving like a unprincipled little bitch.

I simply don't believe that he gave his support willingly.
