126. Nor have I
and my vote is not just about me, either. In fact, I was among some of the few that had a chance of getting some help from the Senate HCR bill as I would have fallen in the group who would have qualified under the Medicaid expansion. If my vote was all about ME I would have been in favor of it. As it was I saw it as the most destructive piece of legislation for the working and middle class in this country since NAFTA. And, I believe the it would be as destructive to the economy as repealing Glass Steagall was.

All that said, it is still not about you or me. I am assuming we are both reliable Democratic voters and many are not. Many will vote in protest and many will stay home if they see the candidates as not working for them.
