My plea that everyone vote for the Dem nominee in Nov.

I'm a white guy with terminal Cystic Fibrosis, my low lung function prevents me from working more than around three hours a day. I rely on disability and expanded Medicaid from the ACA. I don't have the privilege of sitting at home or being a "Bernie or Bust" person. For me it's literally a matter of life and death. I may very well not survive if Trump were to win and precede to gut the ACA.

So any Bernie supporters who are planning to not vote for Hillary Clinton in the General Election, remember this: Many minorities, women, disabled, and/or poor may not survive a Trump presidency. I'm begging you to please reconsider and be empathetic to us.

Thanks for reading.
