  I used to vote for both major parties depending on which economic approach I agreed with. Now I face the possibility that voting for one of those parties may mean aligning myself with a racist movement that accepts violence as a means to achieve their goals.  Voting is no longer about whether I want to fund low-income housing or pay raises for soldiers. Voting is now about whether I'm willing to look my Muslim co-worker in the eyes again.
