(58,785 posts)Hillary is showing that she wants and values SBSers' votes by moving to a plan where individuals in later middle age, in the 50s when most become more likely to experience health problems, would be able to sign on to Medicare.
I also want Medicare for all, but I'm very pleased with this idea, both for myself and as a giant opening move toward more. No doubt this step would be studied for efficacy, and good luck to the GOP on having any more success putting this horse back in the barn than the ACA. If she is elected and makes this happen, I will thank the SBSers for demanding a public option.

she won't have to waste a lot of valuable time
pretending to care what Bernie supporters want.

(30,481 posts)You can also stick your wrath where the sun don't shine. Threats? That where you are now at?
Can you post the copy you said you made of my comments that you said you would use against me at a later date? I would like for people to see that you are sitting here making threats and have also called me a supporter of pedophilia for absolutely no reason. You puffed out your chest and told me you saved it. Threatened to use it against me at a later date. Lets see it. Lets show people the real person behind your threats. This isn't the first threat you have issued around here.

(86,005 posts)...you act as if Clinton supporters have no interests and don't deserve a second's consideration of what those might be. `
The Sanders campaign has made up a caricature of the Clinton campaign and supporters and is posturing like they're the center of the universe, despite the fact that their campaign is in the minority.
Clinton supporters have every right to ask what the Sanders supporters intend to do to confront the republican nominee in the fall. Continuing on with this epic pout isn't a substitute for opposition to the republicans, so I'm left wondering just what's the hangup.
It isn't just Hillary that needs your support, it's the overall effort against the republican candidate for president. I don't know why joining in that effort requires a moment's afterthought.

(28,270 posts)You will cut the throats of your family and friends because your favorite candidate lost the primary?
If you don't give a shit about them nothing any Hillary fan says is going to change your mind.
I do feel sorry for your family and friends though.

(12,296 posts)... who would say whatever they think 'we' want to hear in exchange for our votes, and then once in office, will give us the finger & go back to their original agenda.

(68,640 posts)If the price of your vote is Bernie Sanders as the nominee than no I don't want it. Thanks for playing.
