But it seems obvious that the biggest reason to vote Democrat is to take one good look at the crazies in the Grand Opressive Tea Party and what they will do to oppresss LGBT people, as well as a whole slew of demographic minority groups, including immigrants, Latinos, African-Americans and women who have been raped or victims of incest. If you don't vote for the Democrats, you are opening the door for bigoted hateful theocrats like the Fred Phelps Wesboro "Church" who totally ignore Jesus' actual message of love, acceptance and inclusion and fail to know what their Bible really says. The Republican Agenda is anti-American. Their number one priority is to obstruct and make The President of The United States fail. Welcome to the Recorporate Party of Greed.
