Eve 6 is also a strong, occasionally political, bluesky follow.

CSB: my wife performed the marriage of one of the bandmembers and his wife, pretty sure she's still friendly with them.  Said they were all cool as hell and pretty good dudes.

I saw Chris Kluwe being very politically vocal on BlueSky, and thought "Wait the Vikings punter from back in the day when I cared about the NFL?" 

Eve 6 is also a strong, occasionally political, bluesky follow.

Kluwe has always been pretty outspoken. Basically banned himself from the NFL for agreeing with same-sex marriage and for calling out Mike Pfiefer for his use of slurs.

There is a way out. I don’t want to put it on the internet. But there is a way. 

Incredible between the money whipping threat from Elon to primary them with $100m and MAGA minions making credible death threats, the Republican topples without a whimper.

Genuinely, I appreciate your presence in this thread. I believe you are arguing in good faith, not trolling, and providing a clear depiction of your thoughts.

My question is this: you’ve expressed a few beliefs in this thread that appear to align closer with traditional Democratic Party views than Republican. What made you able to say “I don’t agree with Republicans on guns/abortions/etc, yet I will still give them my vote” but made you unable to do the same with transgender issues and the Democratic Party? Do you prioritize the transgender issue above everything else in the country? Or were there other critical issues to you where you align closer with Republicans?

(Adding in the obvious disclaimer that very few Democrats were openly campaigning on the transgender topic, it was generally just fodder lobbed by the opposition.)

I’m trying to apply common sense and reasoning as much as possible. Never been a fan of guns. But it’s a huge part of this country to have the right to defend yourself from an oppressive power. Though I don’t think the founding fathers had assault rifles in mind when they wrote it. The border and how inappropriately that was looked over was a big one. The Democratic Party taking the easy road and giving Kamala a shot. Babysitting every other nation in the world while not worrying about the ones here at home. And honestly I do like JD Vance more than Trump. Taxes, inflation, all that bullshit comes and goes and is low hanging fruit for the next administration that takes over. A lot of times I end up siding with simpler is better and what suits my slightly conservative view point. I don’t care much for politics bc all these talking points have so many nooks and crannies and nobody will ever figure it out. If there was a perfect answer there wouldn’t be 2 parties at the booth. Me having 2 young girls does play a part in my views on gender rights. I don’t think I’m being radical in saying you should have to legally abide by what genitals you were born with. If you want to live as the opposite sex then right on. But there needs to be that hard line when it comes to records, athletic competition, and possibly imprisonment.

You’re so concerned about the border but voted for the guy that killed the border bill. Makes perfect sense.

Babysitting the world and not taking care of our own… lol are you serious? How is the Republican Party taking care of the less fortunate in this country? You’re just a proud rube.


Who’s enforcing your genital laws? Who gets to look up everyone’s skirts? Do you see how fucking stupid that is?

Still waiting for answers on if we should ban all ADHD medications or mandate covid vaccines.

Who the fuck cares what genitals people have? If people are happy with themselves are you going to be the cunt that tells them to be miserable? Is that your job? Is it the governments? Get fucked…

So now gun control is an issue?  I realize Joe Biden enacted sweeping crackdowns on weapons of all kinds, but . . . wait, that's not right . . . so Kamala was gonna do that?

Fascist.

I don't know how many remember this now, but in the build-up to the 2012 election, Rush Limbaugh made a lot of people believe that if Obama was reelected, he'd never leave office. He'd make himself a dictator. And people believed it, based on absolutely nothing. Now, we have this. So, once again, it was all just projection. It's what they would do.

You care about “gender rights” and not your 2 young girls’ bodily autonomy?

Get the fuck outta here. 

I sure hope nobody ever wants to inspect in their pants to see what gender they are. Because that’s the kind of stuff you voted for.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

...and the ultimate in-group (that the star-spangled MAGA rally goers don't get) are the billionaires regardless if they're Russian oligarchs whose talking points Trump parrots, Saudi royalty whose golfing tournament he hosts, a communist North Korea dictator whom *checks notes* he fell in love with, or Chinese ruling class he fawned over for their handling of Tiananmen Square.

Walmart's stock dropped 6.5% amid downward revised sales projections for the rest of the year.

I wonder how much money Trump's hedge fund managers have made on options betting against Walmart stock over the last 30-90 days, because they knew the tariff would be real before regular investors did?

Here's a link to a google document - https://docs.google.com/document/d/18F1A6LT3wDvwSvSdkAQt86lTQZ_CkfXKBTlmjFflxMs/edit?usp=sharing

It's viewable only for now because I didn't want to allow the shitheads (if you're wondering if you're in that group, you're probably in that group) could edit it, but I'm not opposed to giving a select few here edit privileges. 

I can figure out how to iframe this into a post.

Are you a baby faced because you have to be young you are so naive. Women are already having their genitalia “checked” by vigilantes because of the crusade against the big bad boogeymen … the TRANNIES! You have no idea the world you are helping to create.

Smart move. Although, the edits would make the document an instant classic.

As I mentioned, I'd give editing privileges to a select few here. If anyone wanted it, they could send a PM.  The vetting process would probably be more thorough than the current administration's process to get a secret clearance, though.   I'd also like to keep the current format, too.

Why does there need to be a hard line on any of that?  Serious question?

This kind of statement seems to imply that you think trans people go through the absolute hell that must be suffering gender dysphoria and years of unpleasant medical treatment to gain some kind of advantage.

A buddy of mine, an ex-Marine, who wasn't particularly liberal, once observed to me "why would anyone choose to be gay."  He didn't mean that there was anything wrong with being gay, but there's no real advantage to it, and a whole shitpile of disadvantages.
