Oh dear, we're going to have to get semantic about 'force', aren't we?

I still don't understand why he thinks there's a difference between demanding someone step down and demanding they step down in favour of a specific person.
One allows for democracy and the other does not. In this specific case the demand is entirely divorced from reality and governance, let alone our democratic system.
