I've seen several articles similar to this one, and each time have struggled to understand the difficulty in choosing to vote for Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton. 

I don't what it was like to grow up and be told that because of my gender, I could not aspire to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or even President. But I do know what it was like to grow up poor, and to be told that because of it, my dreams were unrealistic too. I could never cast a vote for Hillary Clinton, and that has nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman, but everything to do with the fact that she is not a progressive. Hillary was one of the last people to show her support for marriage equality, she was one of the last liberals to denounce NAFTA and TPP, she supported the war in Iraq, and she takes a significant amount of money from special interest groups. 

If you are a progressive, I hope your head wins. I agree it is time for a woman to reach the White House, but I don't think that means it's Hillary's turn.
