    You know, Im obviously one person so my input matters very little, but Id much rather vote for a candidate with your ideals than any of the present options. Hopefully one day there will be a candidate with these ideals and the recognition needed to win the election

      Honestly, all of politics is compromise. It’s very unlikely that there’s ever going to be anyone that perfectly aligns with my personal opinions. So I have to pick and choose, and decide which things are absolutely critical for me, and which ones I will bend on. For me, church/state separation, reproductive choice, and LGBTQ rights are my tops for individual rights; gun rights matter to me, personally, but I’d be willing to bend on that if it meant removing the evangelical stranglehold over state and local gov’t.
