    mostly I just like to see you guys rile each other up lol but I thought this was kind of an extreme comparison:

    I don't think you have to say union-busting + lack of (mental) healthcare (which is extremely important for allowing trans people to live normal lives) is a less important or a more important issue than transphobia. They're all representative of some of the biggest problems that plague (no pun intended) our country.

    Cuz if you can say that people are just "misguided" for being anti-healthcare or anti-union, you can certainly say that someone's just "misguided" for being transphobic. In a lot of cases people who are transphobic have just never met a trans person and/or don't know enough about trans issues (and obviously there are exceptions w/r/t being misguided for both cases).

    my initial post was a response to grimace’s silly and ill-considered argument that i should only object to john kasich if he were truly a bad guy at heart, which is impossible to define and irrelevant. he tried to create a hierarchy of issues that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. andy decided he’d be snotty and condescending about me as always. that’s all that happened. if i had taken a different stance he would have taken its opposite.

    andy please lol, level with the good ppl of the forum! if i had been like “kasich’s record on trans rights is disqualifying” you’d be like “this is an olive branch to [x/y/z voter blocs] who don’t care about that!”

    people are laughing at your “moving goalposts” whining because, regardless of what you believe irl, on the forum you hopscotch from argument to argument, chasing ur tail and trying to—yes—be a condescending brat to other posters. it’s not evident from your posts here that you actually have any beliefs at all other than you being the ~most nuanced~ thinker, even when it’s impossible to glean what you really think.

    as you’re fond of saying, this is an eminem forum, so none of us are under any obligation to be our Real True Sincere Selves, but PLEASE lmao don’t tell us that’s what you’re being. or are you going to tell me only property owners are wise enough to vote again?

    i agree but you have to admit, union busting is on a slippery slope given the vast issues with corruption and mob. its not the same moral equivalence as supporting gay + trans rights. im not diminishing it, ive done way more for union families than most here i assume, but its a different beast. and thats ok!

    Not what I said lol I said to be disgusted to vote for joe for floating kasich is an overreaction not that you should be happy about kasich being floated for the cabinet like kasich is not an abhorrent GOP grifter trying to restore democracy no matter what you think about his policies and a democracy only functions with a minority government it’s absolutely okay for him to be anti union and look out for the wealthy He stood up for democracy over power which shows integrity Do I want him in charge of anything? No but he’s not a monster lol. He’s done his duties as an elected official based on things he’s run for. I would never vote for him but a functioning democracy requires a functioning minority party

    Again it’s not what I believe in but I he’s transparent about it when he runs for office and it’s up to the voters to decide whether he’s the right fit for their beliefs

    Like there are absolutely people who john kasich represents ideologically and just because we disagree doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be a democracy lol

    well if biden wins, the voters will have decided on a party that (allegedly) believes in helping workers and not catering to the wealthy, so surely you can understand why those same voters would be miffed if someone who’s diametrically opposed is appointed to a high-ranking position

    ? talk about eating your own tail. ive already addressed this but you sound caught up on knots

    they arent lol. im amazed your trying to compare our reputations here! the people are on my side, always, dont be silly. youve burned all good will..

    i dont do that. when i invoke like, tony clark, im goofing around. but otherwise im extremely consistent lol. anyway:

    wpg said this. in 2020. about.... me? ive won best debater like 4 times lol precisely bc im so measured and even tempered! you got locked out of the latest round of forum vets bc youve..... been a condescending brat so often here. (not that vet matters at all, but ur wild ideas about 'the people' and our reps here needs correction.) which is fine! thats ur thing. but dont project onto me wtf?

    ? ive been plain spoken about my beliefs on any number of political subjects. wtf? how do i even address this besides "nope!"

    ?????????? i think my point was real adults own property, man-children goof around pontificating and bleating about real life issues they know nothing about

    what is this about, exactly? are u ok lol

    “not appointing your political opponents to cabinet positions” is not ending democracy

    So you want to talk about strict party lines after defending sanders for not being in the Democrat machine until he ran for President there are absolutely a significant portion of voters who will vote Biden and also like this as a pick
    Again I’m not for it but I wouldn’t be disgusted to vote for joe because of it
