Democrats: Don't take LGBT folks for granted: how not to win in 2020

I have a daughter who is 22. She is the most awesome person in the world.

She also questions her gender and orientation, putting her firmly in the LGBT continuum, This is not an issue for us in any sense. When she came out about her questions it was probably the most boring coming out ever.

Perhaps as a result of being raised by two cantankerous freethinkers, my kid also voted third party this year. Her vote was Green Party this year, not Libertarian but she chose a candidate whose views matched hers and I could not be prouder.

Today, my kid's Facebook feed has been lit up with people who feel entitled to decide who people should vote for, scolding and shouting at people who vote third party.

Warning: this kid has never been one to tolerate bullying and vapid browbeating. She is very bright and you can convince her but trying to control her will be like talking to a wall. Taking her vote for granted in future elections is foolish. Trying to manipulate her opinion this crudely only means that you will probably NEVER have her vote.

You have been warned.
