  • Believe it or not, your understanding is not essential. Unfortunately for you, truth is nuanced and not conveniently delineated. Just because you can’t grasp it, doesn’t make it a mystery.

    Give me a break.

    Cis people have received an inordinate number of breaks for the entirety of recorded history. You will never be killed for holding hands with the wrong person. No nation has a death penalty for expressing your love openly.






  • Definitely too stupid to not be manipulated. Rest assured, his power will be exploited and true tyranny will reign if he is reelected. From a stability standpoint Biden is the superior geezer. A Biden victory needs to be resounding and irrefutable. Trump and those using him to perpetuate fascism will leverage any ambiguity into prolonging their campaign and the snake will tighten just a little bit more. Beyond that what’s most important is acting locally and driving the culture which politics follows.












  • Politicians should always “buy votes” by acting in the interest of their constituents. The vote “buying” that should really concern you is called lobbying (see: citizens united), or in some cases outright bribery (see: Justice Thomas; also see: Trump literally selling pardons), or in some cases corruption to point of loss of life (see: the entire Iraq war and surrounding sweatheart contracting deals).

    In summary: investing in the future by supporting education: good.Dismantling the EPA for short term political gain at the expense of multiple generations worth of irreparable harm: bad.
