13. I can respect his decision

And I feel this is the right way for progressives who want to push the party to be more progressive to go about expressing themselves at the convention. I forgot that the 2020 platform is less ambitious than 2016 on the issue of healthcare. I will be interested to see if others join him. I'm curious in particular what AOC will do - will she join him in voting against it, or has she agreed to vote for it in exchange for getting at least some of what she wanted on environmental issues? I have not read the whole platform, but from what I know there's enough good and disappointing that I could respect a decision by progressives to vote for or against it.
