That we should build on what has already been done,
and work on it from there....
We have just fought (some of us) to even try and keep what we finally got for the past 5 years....
I don't want to tear it apart....and I certainly don't want it repealed!
I want to build on it!
I see the flaws in it, but its been an awesome start, IMO.
I don't consider the analogy curious....
especially since we will have Republican Majorities in a gerrymandered congress,
most likely something till next census (2020 -which thank goodness is a Presidential election year)!
Some of us believe Sanders to be unelectable,
and don't want to give up the progress already made
simply to elect one man....not when the alternative if he loses,
would be 100% GOP rule, and the erasure of our First Black President's work!
I think that you certainly can see it another way,
but that doesn't make what Hillary supporters see as being wrong.
