I am doing something. I'm voting for the issues at my doorstep. I have a gay child, and a non-binary child. I have another that is autistic.

If Trump wins, there's a non-zero chance that my children will be in danger.

I'm also an advocate for the homeless (don't correct me. I used to be homeless, and we hate "unhoused"),.

I advocate for foster youth, a sector no politician cares about.

All you do is complain about one issue. There's scores of issues. Jill Stein isn't happening. Vote in reality, and for reproductive rights, non-cis rights, rights for the homeless, and for someone that will actually win.

I won't say a vote for Jill is a vote for Trump.

A vote for Jill is the same as not voting. I tell people that didn't vote "you don't vote, you don't have a right to bitch"

I don't believe in rights at all but I'll say anything I like

I respect your decision. But I'm not going to do the same. If Palestinians can be sacrificed today, I can be sacrificed tomorrow. If a line cannot be drawn somewhere, then we will all be fucked, and this is where I have drawn mine.

That's your decision. In my opinion, it means your not voting. Your line helps nobody.

We will be stuck voting for the lesser evil until the end of time unless things change, and they cannot be changed if we don't try to change them.

I've explained myself in many different ways in this thread, but honestly, that's what it comes down to.

I don't live in a swing state regardless.
