This.
We will survive 4 years of any president. But if you are gay or any lgbt, female, Hispanic, black, muslim, or know anyone who is one of these things, even if they are voting against their own self interests with Trump, I would begin you to vote for Clinton.
I'm a middle ages white woman, my husband is in the tech industry where jobs are more secure, so I don't fear too much for us. But I'm not voting just for us, I'm voting for a more socially liberal scotus for my child's lifetime. I'm voting for that so my friends, family, and even complete strangers will have the freedom to be themselves. This matters more, far more, than the individual who is president for a short time. Suck it up, hold your nose if you must, and vote for a better chance at a liberal Scott's, and a better chance for equal human rights for everyone.
