    There’s a lot to criticize about the dems and Bidens administration, that’s for certain. One thing we can say is that even though it hasn’t been the best ally to LGBTQ+ community as it could be, the alternative is an enemy and great threat to all marginalized people. Trump will most definitely work to ban any sort of gender affirming care.

    The DNC deserves criticism for sure, and I completely agree with calling out it’s bullshit. They need to do better and/or we need better options, for sure. They should be our most conservative party in an ideal world.

    Criticize, loudly even, just please don’t throw away your vote. I’m afraid people’s apathy is going to get an actual enemy elected.

      I’ll be at the polls. As important as the presidential is this year the locals always have a large impact on a lot of non insignificant things, and sometimes massively significant things, as well as the ballot initiatives. In almost any race I can respect the choice of abstention, but if you don’t show up for at least the ballot initiatives, the closest thing the US has to direct democracy, then I just think you’re not even trying to make democracy work. I know I can’t say the gym isn’t working if I’m not even trying to use the equipment.
