A lot of ifs in that argument.  Neither of the candidates will do a whole lot for or even care about minorities, but the thought that Donald trump can undo civil progress is absurd.  Discrimination from any factors is already illegal, and the prez can't say "all ye shall not be racist" and have it realistically happen.  Either way, if trump wins the election his despicable personality will be put in check.  If Clinton wins, minus the supreme court, her progressivism should also be put in check

I don't think they'd go as far as to overturn that ruling, but that's just what I think.

The sad thing is no one knows what Trump thinks.

Probably not even himself.

Trump says he fully intends to appoint people who would go that far. A vote for trump is a vote against marriage equality, assuming his words mean anything.

1. Discrimination against gays is certaintly legal. There are states where it's legal to fire someone or deny service for no other reason than "they're gay."
2. The damage trump can do to civil rights is exaggerated by his opponents, but he can and will damage it if congress lets him. He did say he was willing to use exectutive order to undo everything obama did - hopefully none of that involves civil rights.
3. Clinton claims to want to help minorities, althought she obviously has no idea on how to do so. I agree there.

I'm referring to the progressivism she's pushing to try to win the socialists

Maybe your state laws are different because every time I've gotten a job one of the legal forms I've filled out involves equal opportunity employment and that's always included sex and sexuality

I've never seen sexual orientation listed on things that employers can't base their decision of hiring you or not in Ohio.

That's pretty much the main reason I'm not 'out' in public.

The progressivism she'll ditch on day one in favor of neo liberalism?

As FireArrow posted, most states don't require this.

It's a nonsense comment like instead of prison I'm saying she should at least be put in juvenile detention and I'll settle for that if she can't be put in prison

I'm not voting this year, which is probably a good thing, cause I didn't get a chance to read up on any candidates other than mia love, who I was definitely not going to ever ever vote for

Congrats to whoever wins.

I'm going to bed because I don't want to agonize over it for the next few hours.
