you know how i bug you to register to vote and then vote and it’s really super-annoying? well the republican party platform is rolling out and it includes a 100% ban on abortions and revocation of same-sex marriage and no background check for guns and oh yes also conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ people so yeah me bugging you is not going to change sorry not sorry please register to vote and then vote?
Other “highlights”, per the New York Times:
military women barred from combat
coal considered “clean” energy
pornography declared public menace
religion (read: Christianity) must be used as guide for legislation
teaching the bible in public schools
building a wall along the Mexican border like Trump wants
Reblogging for the NYT article link, and also this one from OccupyDemocrats. Your vote matters so much.
Please vote and please don’t be complacent. So very not good polling numbers for Clinton came out this morning, and in general I think polling is going to consistently undercount support for Trump (hi, I look at data regarding the election as part of my day job, I am not just talking out of my ass). Vote. Even if you think your state is “safe.” And please learn about your local down-ticket races, because that’s where the policy that affects your daily life happens.
If this passes, it will set our country back DECADES. Reblog so everyone can see and then vote in November.
I thought this was a hoax or a joke, because even the Republican Party couldn’t be that daft, regressive, and hateful.
It’s not a joke. It’s not a hoax.
VOTE.
I don’t care if you don’t like Hillary. I don’t much like her either. But the alternative is WORSE.
This election is about way more than the presidency. We CANNOT let republicans have the legislature.

Just a public reminder that the Republicans are complete garbage and want to go back to the bad times of the 1950s.
