      Also, to get that clarity I was seeking. Do you:

      1. Recommend people vote for Democrats (sounds like no).
      2. Recommend people vote for Republicans.
      3. Recommend people vote for third-parties or not vote at all.

      These are the only 3 possibilities. Which are you?

      For example, if you believe that Republicans are better for LGBT issues, then I want to hear you say it: “I think Republicans are better on LGBT issues”. I have my own opinion on this which I will keep to myself, I really just want you to be clear about your view and then let everyone judge for themselves what they think is right.

      All fair criticisms of Democrats in my opinion.

      The only thing I have a problem with is your “never vote Democrat” rule. You do you, but I believe voting in a way that will most help LGBT people, and most help women’s reproductive rights, etc–I believe that if you want to cast votes that most support those causes, it will sometimes require voting for a Democrat.

          Earlier you said:

          i’m permanently anti democrat party

          and I read that as “I will never vote democrat”. I see now that’s not what you said.

          I too would love to see us do better than the two deeply flawed parties we have now. I wish we had a better voting system that allowed better parties.
