CMV: Won't vote for Biden or Trump.

If you genuinely feel that sexual assault is the

only

issue that matters to you, that's fine. But consider that the consequences of the election could be that more people are more at risk of sexual assault through factors like power imbalance, uncertain work, homelessness.

The only people more at risk of sexual assault than me would be native Americans, who vote third party at a higher percentage than any other ethnic group. Given my history, I expect to continue to be sexually assaulted as I get older regardless of if Trump or Biden wins.

It's not the only issue that matters to me, but it's one of two things I know that actually causes PTSD. It seems wrong to vote more based on issues that don't cause the most long-term and debilitating symptoms arising from social interaction humanly possible than those that do. As for those that do, it seems that our prevalence of sexual assault and racial will continue grow with either person as president, so I see no hope.

When you spend basically all of your non-working time trying to work through trauma symptoms, it is an issue of very high importance.
