Oprah Winfrey says you don’t have to like Hillary Clinton in order to vote for her.

“There really is no choice, people,” the former talk show queen says in a wide-ranging interview on next Thursday’s episode of the OWN show “T.D. Jakes.”

Winfrey continues of the Democratic presidential nominee, “She’s not coming over to your house!

“You don’t have to like her. Do you like this country? You better get out there and vote.”

Without naming him, Winfrey swipes at Clinton’s opponent, GOP nominee Donald Trump. “Do you like democracy, or do you want a demagogue?” she asks the talk show’s audience.

The 62-year-old media titan was a prominent supporter of President Obama’s White House and reelection bids, but has lain relatively low this election cycle.

“The reason why I haven’t been vocal, other than saying I’m with her,” Winfrey says, using Clinton’s campaign slogan, “is because I didn’t know what to say that could actually pierce through all the noise, and the chaos, and the disgusting vitriol that’s going on, and actually be heard.”
