primaries. Even if she eventually doesn't run, I want to work for her strong voice on exactly the issues that you cite. You and I are together on that. I will work and fight for Warren. I want her to be our party's nominee. I hope she is.

so please don't misunderstand where my stand is.

I am talking about the eventuality, if it comes to pass, where we have HRC against a RW republican who has sworn to appoint SC justices to overturn Roe. That is the issue at hand. And a decision must be made. I will vote for HRC. I know she will not appoint SC justices who want to overturn Roe. Not only does she have a strong track record on women's issues, and reproductive rights in particular, she also has a daughter and a granddaughter. Those facts aren't going to change because she could find a justice that would be unacceptable to us on the finanical regulation issue but fine on choice.

I am not interested in lecturing you. What I have outlined here are my strong beliefs in what I can see as a certain outcome if a republican takes the white house. All I ask is that you think thru that eventuality.
