    Yes, let’s leave it up to the states and do nothing for people in the south. If you wanna be queer MOVE TO CALIFORNIA and if you can’t afford rent we will sends pigs to kill you. Fuck electrical poltics, embrace community

      Those are not mutually exclusive. I’m so tired of this nihilistic view.
      Community and activism can only go so far, and since human decency is not something you can rely on, if you want things to get better you need actual laws that will protect you. The only way to have those is to actually elect people who at least have a chance to do something about it. That holds true both at the state level and federal level.

      So yeah, strengthen your community, but for crying out loud vote for the right people as well.
