This is for the young progressives out there. When I was a bit younger, I was terribly disappointed with then President Bill Clinton, who signed the hateful DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell into law. It seemed he had betrayed all of his values and the LGBTQ community that had helped get him elected. There was a part of me that said I would stand on principle and never vote for him again.
But then I remembered, voting isn’t about loving everything about your candidate. Voting for me is about making a strategic move that will best advance the cause of democracy, freedom and peace for all people, even if my candidate of choice really, really let me down.
I supported Bill Clinton for a second term, even though he had just signed DOMA into law, a law that said my love for my husband Brad was not enough to be legally recognized, not ever.
Candidates aren’t perfect. We shouldn’t ever expect them to agree with us always, even on the most basic of things.But we cast our votes as a prayer for them to do better because we know they can, and their hearts are in the right place.
Bill Clinton came around to supporting my community, without exception. It took time. We got there. So don’t waste your vote. Use it wisely, and make the decision, even if it’s hard, to back the best candidate for what the world needs, and to help prevent an utter catastrophe if, heaven forbid, the other one is elected.
@PanPrincess1997@haliepyluhh@ownedbyswift13 Just curious, have you ever been to a stadium during any sporting event? Most roads around large stadiums are closed down to manage traffic before/after games. That “road closed” sign is just a weird hill to die on as proof of their PR-ship 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@mainernimaine@mainedcm@AtaydeArjo@sylviasanchez_a Black’s bbq, Whataburger and San Marcos outlets - busog and busy weekend for the Ataydes 😅
Hope y’all can stop at a Buc-ee’s and H‑E‑B Plus to continue the taste of Texas (yes, Texans looove their mega gas station and mega grocery chain 🤪)
@menggalurks Glad to see them enjoying ATX! 6th st may be not be as bustling since it‘s Sunday night (though the Horns did win last night, so…) but plenty of nice jazz clubs and live music in the warehouse district!
@Italyzurich@Soosun21@mainedcm Lol. You should be the one doing the thinking! 2023 at legally married na si Meng kay Arjo, can y’all just wake from your delusions? Kayo lang gumagawa ng kwento and patuloy na niloloko mga sarili nyo 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
