lemmy.ml fucking sucks and so do you

I removed it because you’re engaging in transphobic dog whistles

I’m not because I’m not transphobic and I don’t hate trans people at all. I just have a political disagreement with you about athletics.

They want to eliminate trans people, full stop.

Okay maybe some of them do. But I don’t. I just have a simple political disagreement with you about athletics.

It all boils down to they don’t want trans people to exist, and if you start buying one piece of it, you buy all of it.

I am proof that your slippery slope assumption is definitely false. There is a 0% chance that I am ever going to hate trans people. I just have a simple political disagreement with you about athletics. And if you don’t think there are other people here who have the same opinion, you’re wrong. By shutting down the discussion, you are depriving everybody of the opportunity to learn more and maybe have their minds changed. As a mod you should be trying very hard not to create an echo chamber. Or else explicitly list this opinion and any other opinions that people are not allowed to have here.

It’s the trans equivalent of what got Jimmy The Greek fired back in 1988

You arguing that having an athletics disagreement is the equivalent of “wanting to eliminate trans people” sounds to me like the equivalent of conservatives saying that wanting common sense gun regulations is the equivalent of “wanting to take your gun from you”. i.e. You’re taking a mild position and translating that into the most extreme position possible. That’s not something I want to see in a regular commenter, let alone a mod with the ability to silence people with disagreeable opinions.

The Super PACs will do most of the heavy lifting.

I don’t know of one single Super PAC that is under the control of the DNC. Can you (A) name one, and (B) show that it spend money in primary campaigns? The DNC is not a person nor is it the most powerful organization of the Democratic Party. The SDC and HDC are both way more powerful than the DNC is.

Yikes a transphobic dogwhistle

Yikes someone just jumped to a ridiculous conclusion. I’m not tranphobic. I don’t hate trans people the slightest bit. I just have a legitimate disagreement with you on this one thing.

Let me guess you don’t care about women and girls facing inequitable facilities, pay, and marketing; abusive coaches; and racist, sexist, and homophobic harassment.

You would guess wrong on all these things.

Trans participating in sports was a non-issue in the us until the right started whining about it more recently.

True enough. Now that they have given up on hating gays, they are going after trans.

The International Olympic has stated that “no presumed advantage” based on sex assigned at birth or sex characteristics.

Well now, if I hadn’t posted my mild comment that was removed for being politically incorrect, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to inform me and others about this would you? Maybe you would have changed my mind if the discussion had been allowed to proceed. That’s why censorship is counterproductive and stupid. If someone post things I disagree with I would rather correct them then censor them.

At the time my comment was deleted, more people here approved of it than disapproved (4-3). So the censorship deprives yourself of the opportunity to convince others of your view.

Last I heard everybody gets one vote.

ultimately what it’s about is not wanting trans people to exist at all.

Nope that’s bullshit. If you attributed that to Newsom then you’re the problem, not Newsom.

It’s not even about “biological men competing in womens sports”,

Yes, that is exactly what it is about. This one thing.

p.s. Did you actually delete my post just because I took this political stand of saying its not fair for trans women to compete in womens sports? Why would you do that? Is nobody allowed to have even a mildly politically incorrect opinion here? An enforced echo chamber does not help anybody.

I’m not only blaming sexism. I’m also blaming that she ran a shit campaign and lied when she said she was going to “prosecute the case against Trump”.

#1 prereq to get shit done is to get elected.

and there is campaign finance reform (looking at Citizens United being overturned), it’s naive to believe progressives will ever have a shot.

So what you are saying is that Citizen’s United is the reason progressives “don’t have a shot”. Do you know understand the chain of events that led us here? In 2000 (A) progressives voted for Ralph Nader, who (B) threw the election to George Bush, who (C.) appointed several archconservative Supreme Court justices, who (D) established Citizen’s United.

So you rexample of Citizens United as being the thing that fucked us over is AN EXAMPLE OF PROGRESSIVES SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT.

It’s undeniable that it all unfolded the way it did because leadership wasn’t pleased with him

It was the fault of their idiotic diversity rules. And although I like Hogg’s preferred candidates, it is also true that DNC members should not be pushing primary candidates.

hilldog and Harris lost because they were women not because they ran God awful campaigns

They lost for both reasons.

LMFAO nobody here is a “DNC fanboy”. Even if I didn’t like Bernie Sanders, why would I be a “fan” of a caretaker organization that has very little actual power to do anything? I’m a fan of voting for the best available candidate whether primary or general elections.

The DNC turns over almost 100% of membership every 4 years so anything it “learns”, good or bad, will be forgotten. Because it isn’t a person. Tulsi Gabbard used to be a DNC leader. Now she’s a Trump henchperson MAKING AMERICA NOT GREAT AGAIN

California has some of the most corrupt and inept leadership it has ever had.

Traitorapist Trump is 1000x more corrupt than any other politician so if you don’t care about that then you don’t really care about corruption at all.

At some point, we have a moral duty to the victims of our imperialism to simply dismantle our genocidal country

Is your genocidal country (A) Russia, or (B) China? Its hard to tell but we know that both countries have populations so stupid that they allowed dictators to steal their entire governments. We know that Chinese imperialists invaded Tibet to annex their territory and Russian imperialists invaded Ukraine to annex their territory and they do indeed have a moral duty to dismantle their governments.

I have no tolerance to entertain ignorance.

It’s more likely bad faith tankie Stalinism. One of the chief features of Stalinism is that they view other leftists as their main enemy, not conservatives.

It’s unsurprising Newsom is leading, given all the media coverage he’s been given.

He’s been earning it lately.

Until the Democratic Party just ignores primary results they don’t like.

Traitorapist Trump is that you? It sure sounds like you. I’m so sick of your ridiculous bullshit.

Removed by mod

He can keep doing his attack dog shit

That is exactly the kind of person we need to win elections though.
