HAHA surprise I in no way remember writing that!
I would encourage some of you to re-think your assumptions about why a doomed few of us would vote for something other than the 2-party system. For me it's the opposite of being "short sighted". And I really need someone to explain to me how it equates to a "vote for Trump". It's my belief that the 2-party system is killing us, and while one of the two guys might be less bad, it's the continuation of that binary choice and focusing on the now that is far worse than either of them. Please consider that as strongly as you might feel that I'm "throwing my vote away", I may feel the same way about your continually voting us further into the trap.
As far as LGBTQ people, immigrants, and non-whites feeling threatened, you have every reason to feel that way. But Democrats didn't make gay marriage ok. Democrats aren't decriminalizing drugs or making sweeping changes in our judicial system. Having a black president didn't make racism go away and Obamacare didn't fix our heathcare system. Democrats did nothing to improve our immigration system or our schools. Heck, they didn't even take my guns away. The Democrat party doesn't love you. It's public opinion that pushes acceptance and large changes. Most of us will continue to live and work together and learn to appreciate each other and the still-really-very-recent dawn of the internet is making the world smaller. But those who want to hide, hate, and refuse to change will always find a place to do that.
Sorry for the poorly informed rant, go back to yelling.

Just crazy to think after everything that has happened it doesn't even strike a chord as it's just a fraction of the issues out there....
The guy says a new crazy thing every day to fuck with the press. Just stop listening. It's not news.
