    That might have to be the only priority for a moment til we have a functioning government that has the power to actually change all our lives for the better.

    That got us Hillary instead of Bernie, then Biden instead of Bernie. And this thinking exactly perpetuates the ratchet effect. We always have to win just a little harder, then we can change what matters. THAT is what got us here.

    I am NOT queer, nor a minority. I’m among the very last group of people that will be sent to the camps. But my values don’t require me to be personally affected to stand firm by my fellow humans.

    Edited to add:

    But if I were a member of one of those groups, I’d probably be pretty upset that you are telling me I should treat my very existence as a “wedge issue” to be avoided. I won’t go further for fear of putting words in someone’s mouth.
