Soft interior of kindness and decency wrapped in sharp shards of idealism crushed by bitter reality. Resident of the Sane Republic of New England. Stop the centrist-leftist infighting already. Trump and MAGA are the only important fight.

Nope. Compared to the little ripping apart a families by masked goons? No, they don't count and I wish you could understand how ridiculously and dangerously selfish it sounds of you to think they compare.

I'm sorry but I simply disagree on all points. I wish you well (whether you want to believe that or not). Have a nice day .

I didn't tell you that. Although I disagree with your assessment of how he views trans girls. I don't know what else to tell you, except beg you to think about the fact that the alternative is infinitely worse under any circumstance and must be stopped

Rise to the level of people of color literally being dragged off the street by masked men. Picking our battles is not throwing anyone under the bus, it is surviving so the autocrats don't murder us all

I will agree that those are important elements of socializing. And as someone who's bullied incessantly (until I learned to punch them right back in the fucking face) I grasp the gravity of it . But I'm sorry it does not for now, and a purely political calculus, which sadly we all have to live with,

would literally want to kill you and is ALREADY destroying the lives of other vulnerable populations in this tent right now, is stupid and self defeating?

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 4h

ho wants to take away your rights. Maybe they don't want you move fast enough on them and you SHOULD fight that out on the primary. But when it's done, to say you're just going to stay home or undermine that person and risk giving power to those who ...

Here's where you are dead wrong. I and everybody else arguing with you from within this tent absolutely support your rights. We are standing behind you We are trying to protect you We acknowledge your vulnerability. there is not one single Democrat on the national stage...

Fourth grade schooluare debating skills. Boring.

Adorable freshman year awareness and pretense of idealism wrapped in self aggrandizing ignorance is always entertaining. Come back when your maturity and critical thinking skills align.

Are you that stupid or just a cynical prick? Or maybe a bot. Either way, mock and block is the only response . Have a day .

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 4h

No one is throwing you under the bus, clown.

So, maybe go fuck yourself instead of throwing other vulnerable populations under the bus over wholly exaggerated whines about any Democrat supposedly taking away your rights. Idiot.

Whiny loser who can't argue reality alert.

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 4h

You won't gain perhaps and believe it or not, I truly want your community to gain acceptance and rights. Not only you won't lose any, but the alternative wants you gone. So settle down.

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 4h

I don't answer because it's a childish and stupid question. I'll turn it back on you - what rights are you going to lose from Gavin Newsom or anyone else on the Democratic side? None.

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 4h

You're making my point that's not anywhere near the flex you think it is.

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 4h

Because you asked a loaded. false question that was otherwise dismissed as not worthy of response.

I'm not your monkey. Have a seat.

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 23h

WE are in agreement on that. So work your ass off in the primary for that. When that's over we come together or we all fall together.

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 23h

"sorry majority!! you'll take every single thing we demand and you'll like it. Don't you dare complain or we'll screw all of you even more!"

See how easy that was?

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 23h

I've ignored a ton of posts. Most of them are the same tired bullshit that I dismiss.

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 23h

I'm sure that will make it all easier for you when the autocrats solidify their power and really shit on your rights.

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 23h

There aren't any. Not getting everything you want right away is not persecution. Do you not grasp that America moves infuriatingly slowly and you're contributing to that? Perhaps you can talk to your black and brown friends about it

Cantankerous Old Bastard @venevidiexequi.bsky.social · 1d

Come back when you're able to post based on reality and not your feelings.

Dismissed.
