I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

with some LGBT rights, but only like if it isn't inconvenient

So I intend to vote, but this is important for everyone to understand. The democrats are NOT allies. They are only supportive insofar as we are useful producers and consumers.

Look to Palestine and the Mexican border for examples of how well they'll stand up for us when we become unuseful or unpopular.

We need a system change including the entire removal of our "dEmOcRaCy" -- anyone who defends our system as any kind of equitable system is either a lying fascist or a fool -- no exceptions
