    Look, I don’t like Biden. I voted Green in the last 2 elections, but I had the privilege of doing that then. Not this time. None of us do. It’s ride or die, and that’s not just a slogan this time around.

    It’s ride or die, and I don’t wanna die.

    I’m a gay Jew in Florida, and I don’t have the privilege of voting my conscience and hoping for the best. I have to vote like my freedom and my life depend on it— as does those of tens of millions more I don’t even know. Because they do.

        My life and my freedom. To start.

        What kind of dumb fuck question is that?

            lol, what, you gonna give me the 10-30 grand and a job that I need to leave?

            What the fuck, dude, do you think moving to a new state is free? Seriously? You privileged jerk.

              Sorry. I fled my conservative state as a gay queer teen and sucked a lot of dick staying with various boyfriends, but I was at a different stage of my life then. I’m just worried about you.

                Then act like it

                Edit: kid, in my 45 years, I’ve been through 10 times worse than that. 100 times worse. My point is that none of us should have to suffer through such revolting indignities in order to have a normal happy life, just for the right to live. And the fact that you even think for a second that I should have to suffer through even a fraction of that in order to escape to a safe place where I might have a hope of even a chance of a safe life is fucking terrifying.

                Raise your fucking standards, and when you fight for a better life, fight for better than sucking cock for a safe place to sleep. Fight for freedom. Fight for freedom from that kind of oppression. Fight for dignity, happiness, and equality. Because we deserve nothing less.

                  I just want everyone in my community to come out alive. I don’t know if I can fight for more than that, because I don’t know if I’ve ever seen freedom for people like us where it can’t be ripped away after a bad election.

                    If you keep rolling over, then none of us are gonna come out alive. I can promise you that. History has taught us that much.

                    Keep up with your defeatist bullshit, and you might as well crawl in the ovens now. And you’ll drag us all down with you.

                    Fight like all of our lives depend on it. Because they do.

                    Do you like being alive? Well, here’s your chance to prove it.

                Sorry, you are suggesting that rather than stay in Florida, they prostitute themselves?

                  Do you think that’s a fate worse than death?

                    Yes, I think allowing yourself to be raped just so you can survive can be a fate worse than death for some people.

                    Voluntary sex work is fine. Allowing yourself to be raped- and yes, it is rape if you are doing it out of desperation- just to survive is horrific.

        Like much of the US, if you momentarily disregard the politics of a state, Florida is a naturally beautiful place with weather that many people prefer.

        If we could make the politics not suck, social programs better, worker life better, etc., every state would be great to live in and while enjoying their individual natural wonders.

          I guess it’s the same as saying that we can fight mass migration by making the failed states wprth living in. But also, what can we do? Regime-change Florida?
