Pence is an anti-choice extremist.

Wants to block patients from accessing care at Planned Parenthood, ban abortion, punish women and doctors for abortion, roll back insurance coverage for birth control and other lifesaving care, allow businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ people, and worse.

He has a history of passing anti-choice legislation.

Every bit as bad as T-rump.

a Koch puppet neo-con, far right fundamentalist, with the polish and smooth delivery of a televangelist.

He's obviously better in other ways, more of the conventional politician who will conform to governing norms, and is safe with the nuclear codes.

Trump is a full-blown fascist, who thrives on chaos and antagonism, and who will subvert the constitution to achieve his ends.

Pick your poison, I suppose.

I think I'd rather see Trump implode in office and easily defeated in 2020 while bringing down the GOP with him the whole way - rather than get impeached and Pence taking over - which has the risk of the public thinking of Pence as 'normal' by comparison, and thus retaining office.

and fascism is perhaps the most dangerous ideology, along with communism, responsible for the deaths of tens of millions over the past century.

and now that the taboo of electing a fascist is broken, 'normal' whites that may've felt shame about voting for him (and who may've stayed home or even voted for Hillary) in 2016 may now feel more comfortable in 2020.

the civil rights of all citizens, not just women and LGBTQ -- the labor rights of all working people, equality under the law for all people, our rights to programs like Social Security and Medicare, and on and on. The Pences of this world do not believe in the Constitution as our founding fathers meant it to be understood, as America has for over 200 years, and they intend to fix it.

12. Sadly, there are even some who claim to be "liberal" that think choice and freedom are dirty words.

It's fucked up.

Choice is not negotiable.
