LGBT "Community" is Over....

[Emiliano]

I understand, agree with and support everything you say. And, to those who think that we take our politics "too seriously"..........Yes, we do, because politics affects every aspect of our lives.

I understand why you want to leave. I'll just say that having you leave would be a major loss to the forum, because you're very often a sensible voice of reason, and things you've said have helped me and, I'm sure, many others as well.

I have an elderly neighbor who was active in the fight for women's rights, and it infuriates her as well to see young women ignoring the very real risks that this election poses to them.

It seems like there's no true purpose, no sense of community, anywhere among any group anymore.

Exactly, for some of us this more than just politics and discussion topics. Yes I am concerned about Pence and his positions on the LGBT community. But things like how Trump views immigration, race relations, women's rights... all of that is so much more troubling to me than how Clinton handled emails. Those are real life problems that affect me and the communities I am from and a part of. That he is giving a platform for the white nationalists of this country is disturbing. That he could have the power to put Supreme Court judges in places is frightening. I mean we all have different perspectives and priorities but that a politician is corrupt is far less of an issue in my mind than what comes with Trump. And it's not like he is without his shady business too.

Welcome to the world of a third party member that you don't like either of the major candidates. So vote third down the ballot. Third parties need a foundation before we can put a president on top. And knowing that this is ultimately a fight between Trump and Clinton, if you live in a state that could go either way, I don't see how anyone who truly believes in what Stein, Johnson, or Sanders wants, could in good conscious do anything that would open a path for Trump. I'm not telling people how to vote. I'm just asking people to think about how they are going to feel about their protest vote if we wake up on Nov 9th with Trump having won the election.
