    So we are basically at:

    “Eat this piece of shit or the insane guy with a gun behind you blows your brains out.”

      If you think Joe is a piece of shit, then yes!

      The violent madman with a gun pointed at your head is about to become president and blow your brains out if people don’t rally behind whoever runs against him.

      Those are your current options, deal with it.

      PLEASE! I beg you! Take every perceivable action to change what options you have in the future. Change the options you can choose from. Go be active in local politics, go do something, anything, to achieve better representation, maybe try to change the way your voting system works.

      But in the meantime, ensure that voting will still be an option in the future and don’t have your (and every vulnerable minorities) brains blown out.

      And know that you are not alone, there are other people trying to expand your options, but they need help and time and they are generally convinced that the struggle for something better than shit will be lost or set back by DECADES if you allow the madman to blow your brains out.

      I wouldn’t say he’s been a piece of shit for this community (unlike, for example, migrants and asylum seekers), he has done a few good things, it’s just way less than what we need in the face of a Republican party that’s decided that demonizing and terrorizing queer people is something their entire party will support. I hope he gets reelected because the alternative is going to be worse, but the notion that things are on the whole better for queer people than they were four years ago is bullshit you have to be really out of touch to believe.
