I cannot believe how blatantly corrupt that is. I mean, it’s a GQP wet dream, but this is disgusting. Every single one of them should not only never be allowed to serve public office again, but every bill they have ever passed or killed, should be audited publicly, with roll call votes.

I despise Republicans in every way.

I don't know. Only one party is trying to kidnap trans kids and destroy fundamental human rights.

Democrats suck, but they are not on the same level as Republicans. Voting for them is voting for my continued existence as an LGBT dude.

Not everyone has the ability to "both sides" the issues. Our lives are on the line.

Okay. Only one party overwhelmingly supports stripping rights away from LGBT people and women. Let's step back to the national level. Oh, wait, that's still true.

Voting Republican/third party or not voting at all is a vote for accelerationism. Are my rights and the rights of people like me not worth more than your apathy and disillusionment?

Meh. I'll weigh in here: I fucking hate the Democratic party. They suck and are absolutely interchangeable with Republicans on economics, foreign policy and policing. You'll get more cops, more bombs, and more squeezing the working class no matter who is in office.

However, it is absolutely undeniable that liberals have a much more humane and respectable track record specifically with regards to the queer community. It's a night and day difference- which isn't hard when the right wing has been so fervently trying to exterminate them.

Say whatever else you want about liberalism in the West but is absolutely safer for the LGBT community when there aren't conservatives with power.
