Well yeah, that's because it is. Performing human sacrifices for the profit gods, which is what we are currently doing, is bad.

Ok so if your choice was between a politician who made LGBT issues their priority but were against medicare for all/socialized medicine, and a politician that made medicare for all/socialized medicine their priority but were against LGBT rights, who would you choose?

Both are human rights issues. Which one is more important to you?

When that situation happens I guess we'll find out.

It won't though, and is a fucking laughable attempt at a gotcha
