I am trash with strange tastes and weird habits.
you know how i bug you to register to vote and then vote and it’s really super-annoying? well the republican party platform is rolling out and it includes a 100% ban on abortions and revocation of same-sex marriage and no background check for guns and oh yes also conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ people so yeah me bugging you is not going to change sorry not sorry please register to vote and then vote?
They’re also trying to bar women from combat positions (again), ban pornography, stop cohabitation of unmarried couples, and give federal parks back to the states because that obviously won’t result in 80% of them being completely destroyed for profit.
Oh, and then there’s this (from the Times article):
The platform demands that lawmakers use religion as a guide when legislating, stipulating “that man-made law must be consistent with God-given, natural rights.”
It also encourages the teaching of the Bible in public schools because, the amendment said, a good understanding of its contents is “indispensable for the development of an educated citizenry.”
Bear in mind, this isn’t Trump’s platform. It’s the WHOLE FUCKING PARTY. So remember: It still is not enough to vote for President and wash your hands of everything else. Know what’s going to be on your ballot, and vote in EVERY race. Get these fuckers out of office before they make their shitty platform federal law.

https://vote.usa.gov/I’m all for replacing our corrupt system, but in the meantime, please vote.
Unless your revolution is going to come before November, this election will have immediate material consequences for LGBT+ people, people of colour, women, Muslims, Jewish people, people capable of pregnancy, the poor and the disabled.
Every marginalized group risks more under Republican rule, and by and large, we cannot leave. Not just that, but as bad as Democrats can be, Republicans are even more pro-war and pro-torture, and the choices of US leadership have a massive global effect.
Please, practice harm reduction. Ideological purity doesn’t mean shit compared to the immediate harm you can prevent with the simple act of voting.
This means Vote Democrat all the way across the board. Every votable position available for the country and for your individual states depend on this. Even if you dislike some of the policies the democrats have, it is no joke that they are 1000% better than republicans right now simply on the fact that they aren’t pushing the same harmful agenda. And that is all the convincing you should need. Stay informed, know what both sides propose to be aware of the danger and please I beg you to keep our LGBTQA+, POC, poor, children, brothers, sisters and others safe by voting blue.
