(5,390 posts)I don't know how to respond, even tho I support Sanders and his policies we might have more in common than you think. I do not write off any one who cares about their fellow man. I will admit that health care access, equal rights and women's rights are my priorities (they are personal for me). I have been fighting for health care reform since the early 90's. In California we managed to achieve major reforms (it would take decades before we saw the same reforms nation wide) regarding pre existing conditions or how claims are processed (The Fair Claims Practice Act).
All I'm trying to say is no matter who takes the primary we will need everyone who cares about those priorities I mention above. We may differ on the how but never the why. We should not disenfranchise any one who can help us in keeping the "why" possible so that we can solve the "how" together.
