When the government isn't tolerable, it's time to go and vote your butt off. And that's a lot of voting. Unless you live in Utah like I do, where all voting districts are so over-gerrymandered that no one except a republican candidate can possibly win.
We just had a huge election for congressional reps and there were two candidates, one a popular Democrat with most of the people's support and the other a confirmed trump-supporting book banning conservative hater. She had almost no popular backing. But guess who won.
It sure as hell wasn't the Democrat. And it sure as hell won't be the people of Utah who continue to be embarrassed by our right wing fascist asshole legislatures that have banned ALL healthcare for women and made it illegal to ever take a landlord to court over any issue. I love living in neo-nazi times, it sure makes the Dark Ages look appealing by comparison.
It's like that in a lot of states, probably all of them.
It's a sickness that makes our country one of the worst in the entire world. In Utah, you can register as a democrat, but you can't cast a vote as a democrat, they will not give ballots to registered democrats in Salt Lake or anywhere else in the state.
What? Is that legal?
It's legal when the Republican controlled legislator says it is, and after they are the ones who make all the laws here.
That's insane
Yep. That's Utah. They're actually considering putting gay people in jail for "sodomy" without necessity of any jury trial (that is actually bill before our current legislature). You must realize, if it can happen here, it will probably spread to other states also.
Yeah luckily though I live in California so probably won't happen here at least I hope it doesnt me being a gay person
You're very lucky to live there. I lived for two years in Santa Cruz and felt like it was really my home. I was in a gay relationship (long term) and we moved to California mostly because he wanted to. But I fell in love with Santa Cruz, got a good job in San Jose and wanted to stay, but he eventually persuaded me into moving back to Utah - then years later, dumped me and left me here. >:( And I'm damn mad about it, but may get the opportunity to move soon. And I'll never come back to Utah under any circumstances.
Oooof I'm sorry hopefully you do soon :)
It'll be fairly soon, but I don't know where just yet. Thanks for the positive feedback!
