To be a medical worker in our society today, right now....

you have to be smart, capable, and compassionate. And I will bet my bottom dollar that a significant majority vote for Democrats.

My wife as far as I am concerned is smart, capable and compassionate. As far as politics is concerned she is definitely a moderate, and is registered unaffiliated. She took part in the Democratic primary and voted for Klobuchar. She voted for Clinton in 2016.
