Hello everyone!
I am Linnea of Minnesota. My hobbies include video games, wing chun, video games, both ice and roller skating (poorly), movies, video games...video games...
(My favorite games are Undertale, Beyond Good & Evil, and Gone Home, in case anyone cares. In terms of movies, my favorites from last year were Mad Max: Fury Road, Carol, Inside Out, Chi-Raq, and The Martian.)
I consider myself a communist anarchist, a feminist (ducks), and a Hillary Clinton supporter (ducks again). People seem to think that that's an odd combination, but I actually have a number of reasons for supporting Clinton, not least of which being her commitment to aiding the communalist fighters in Rojava (northern Syria), whom I consider myself a strong supporter of, in their struggle against the Islamic State. She's the only candidate running, major party or third party, who has made that commitment, and it's important to me. She's also, let's face it, the only woman who has any chance of winning the contest and that's also important to me. And while my support of Clinton is (as you might expect) hardly unqualified, the policy platform she's running on is also quite easily the most left-leaning and pro-feminist platform I've seen a Democratic presidential candidate run on in my lifetime, which encourages me. I also just really, really despise the xenophobic, authoritarian campaign of Donald Trump that frankly represents the sole viable alternative. I consider him by far the worst, more horrible and dangerous candidate who has ever run for that post in my lifetime (on a major party ticket anyway). I felt like just getting that out of the way now because the subject will inevitably arise, I'm sure.
Anyway, the reason I joined this message board was because of the posted motto that says "civility is a MUST!" I've struggled with clinical depression for most of my life and honestly sometimes have difficulty keeping personal criticisms in perspective because they often remind me of the worst people I've known. I will do my absolute best not to overreact to personal attacks, but I will forewarn everyone now that I've often been called overly sensitive before elsewhere and I have my better times and my worse times, so if ever I seem overly sensitive or overly private, I apologize in advance. I'm encouraged by this message board's stress on maintaining a civil atmosphere though and look forward to discussing both the issues and more trivial matters!
This concludes my introduction. I am here. You may now break into song and dance.
