    Voting does not take 10 minutes! First, Republicans are making it harder to vote early or by mail and closing polling stations so you have to wait in really long lines on a work day. Second, you should be taking the time to really research and understand everything on your ballot before committing to votes.

    If voting prevents literal murder then both parties obviously don’t stand for the same values.

          And, who was it that signed DoMA into law? Ah, yes, Bill Clinton.

          LGBT became good business so the Democrats jumped on the bandwagon. I’m glad they are on the right side, but they are followers, not leaders. They support the disenfranchised when it benefits their larger cause of shoveling wealth to the top.

    both parties ultimately stand for the same values

    This is an extremely privileged take. Yes, both parties support corporations and capitalism. However, one party also supports the eradication of people they don’t like. This is a very significant difference.
