Nope, because the guy warning you doesn't want anything from you.
Now if that guy said "give me all your money or you might end up under that bus", that would sound very different, wouldn't it?
If you replace "give me your money" with "vote Republicans", and "under that bus" with "with a lower pay", in what exactly does it differ?

Good threats always have the potential to be true. If a mobster says to a shop owner "Pay protection money or you might get robbed," the shop owner knows for a fact he *will* get robbed if he doesn't pay.
Any threat that can't be true is not a good threat. For example, if a random subsim member who doesn't even know you in RL told you he's gonna send a kill squad over to your place, would you feel threatened?
So your saying that it cannot be a threat because it is a fact, just isn't right. At all.
