I will vote for less harm in 2020, whatever that winds up being, but I will fight like hell on every level to get better than we have now so forgive me if I don't find much to protect in a transphobic, islamaphobic pseudo-liberal on TV. We should demand better than Bill Maher and from Bill Maher, but we won't get it unless we do.
