Should I vote republican or a democrat? I despise both parties.

OP - I think the election of the speaker today should answer the question.

I have not seen functioning government solve much of anything in the last 30 years. As they say " Government: If you think the problems we create are bad, just wait 'til you see our solutions "

1. Democrats allowing natal males to self-ID into women’s sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, prisons, and intimate spaces, as well as men’s crimes being categorized as women’s crimes based on what the male criminal says he is, is NOT “leveling the playing field.” It’s completely dismantling women’s spaces and undermining the rationale for women’s spaces while denying women the language to speak plainly on what is happening (“a woman raped me with HER penis” = no bueno!).

2. Democrats are forcing insurance and Medicaid to cover cosmetic surgeries for people who want to pass as the sex they were not born. That is not “libertarian.” That’s redirecting (misappropriating?) taxpayer and employee funds towards the trans movement and raising healthcare costs at the expense of the non-trans majority in society. It also amounts to discrimination when women can’t get breast implants covered by insurance, but men who want to pass as women can.

3. I won’t even touch the kid-related controversies. If there’s one thing we’ve learned over and over, including most recently through the opioid epidemic, it’s that doctors CANNOT be trusted to self-regulate. The idea that states shouldn’t legislate and regulate the surgical and chemical transitioning of children and should trust profit-seeking doctors to walk away from fat paychecks is crazy.

1. Democrats do not control the NCAA or other sports committees that set guidelines and rules for sports in this country. Those officials are not even elected. And to date there have only been 32 trans athletes. This is a manufactured problem that really affects a very small number of people.

2. Democrats cannot force private companies to do anything. Please see the SCOTUS case of the web designer who doesn’t want to create marriage sites for gay couples.

3. Children are not surgically transitioning in this country. It is against AAP guidelines. Do you know anyone who has transitioned? It is not an overnight process. You cannot just schedule an appointment and have surgery to become a different gender. It doesn’t work that way.

There is so much misinformation surrounding this topic. Much of what gets placed at the feet of Democrats, is out of their control. There is also a lack of critical thinking of the people who make the absurdly wrong claims above. It’s ludicrous. People just pull the dumb arguments out of their a$$es and post them as truth. GTFOH.

I’m not even going to bother refuting your foolishness point by point when any idiot can google (1) the Biden administration’s ridiculous misinterpretation of Title IX as requiring schools to allow men to self-ID into women’s sports, (2) the thousands of girls who had “gender affirming” mastectomies last year alone, (3) the DOJ intervening in cases brought by male crossdressers to force businesses and female-only spaces to cater to them, (4) the Biden administration interpreting the ACA as requiring coverage or transgender cosmetic surgeries, and many other ways in which Democrats have deployed governmental power and resources to force the trans agenda on society. This isn’t 2010 when the “we just want to pee” lie fooled people. GTFOH.

You aren’t going to refute it because you can’t. Biden providing guidance is not the same as dictating. Again please refer to the SCOTUS ruling. You, again, pop off about mastectomies with no evidence. It isn’t our job to back up your insane claims with evidence, that’s on you. Honestly, I don’t understand why you have any right to say what other people choose to do with their bodies. It is zero of your business. The biggest threat these days to women isn’t trans M to F individuals; it CIS men who took away their right to choose what to do with their bodies.

Democrats’ trans agenda?! GTFOH. It’s a GOP narrative not based in any reality.

Np — alright, let’s say you really believe gender surgeries aren’t being done on kids. how do you explain trans orgs spending tens of millions to sue red states that ban puberty blockers, hormones, gender surgeries etc etc for minors? why work so hard to allow what you say isn’t happening?

Because as people have - patiently, slowly, repeatedly - explained to you, with links (that you either ignore outright or can’t read anyway): because the transphobes are blocking alllll of the care for allllll of the ages. Including regular old therapy!!

And the dumbest part of your transphobia? You actually try to convince people that you hold these gross and perverted opinions for the benefit of women. Your party that tries to defund Title IX, that mocks women athletes, that tried to keep (White) women out of work and in the home, that has stripped women of their bodily autonomy and is now represented by a fascist speaker who wants to put women in prison for abortions… no one buys that you care about women. We just think you’re bigoted and that you’ve got a weird kink you’re working out in public.

This was quite a rousing attack on the far right enemies you fixate on, but you might want to learn how to talk to regular people without going beserk. Most of the 99% of us who aren’t trans are also not far right. You need to win us over and yes, explain yourself, or we’ll vote against everything you want.

“Why don’t you answer my post about trans healthcare? Distraction!!… You answered wrong!! I’m JuSt AsKiNg QuEsTiOnS! I’M a ReGuLaR pEoPlE!”

People like you make me think the current trans movement has to be an op.

There’s no way so many of you are too stupid to realize going rabid alienates people.

Maybe undermining the movement from within is the goal?

Or maybe you all really are this crazy and politically unsavvy.

Seriously, great messaging hygiene. You wanted to know why, “if something isn’t happening,” do we defend that thing? I explained. I wasn’t even rabid about it. But you gotta work the refs, right? It’s up there with the gish gallop that so many of you do. I see you.

I also see the GOP refusing to do anything to help regular Americans. I see them gleefully ripping rights away from people. I see them working for billionaires and corporations and making fun of workers for wanting to be able to afford life. I see the GOP complaining about inflation and prices but then they won’t do anything about those prices. I see the GOP use the levers of power to the benefit of people who don’t need any more help at all and denigrating those who do. I see the GOP dismantling the separation of church and state and I see them destroying schools and funding churches.

Oops, sorry. A simple list of reality is probably “rabid” to you.

Come now, that was Reagan. Reagan was a traitor to his country in other ways, like the Iran hostages, but he came by his hatred of government the old fashioned way.

The trans focus is just to replace the abortion wedge issue. GOP freaked out when the Supreme Court actually overturned Roe because they had to quick come up with another wedge issue to keep voters. Meanwhile, real issues being ignored and they just happen to make the power and money hungry faux public servants richer and more powerful.

It was Reagan but it was also foreign influence. Even then.

This. The GOP just elected a speaker who doesn't "believe" in the 2020 election.

If you are a fan of democracy, you should hold your nose and vote for Democrats for a while. Any decent republican is getting out of politics right now.

I can just look around at standards of living in decline and belief systems turned on their head in the last thirty years. No "Russian" has to tell me that.

Are those your safe words? Democracy? Russia? MAGA?

Well, you keep on keeping on. Whatever it takes for you I guess.

You mean Reagan was in charge of the CIA and ARGO before he even entered office? Hmmm.

If you think you haven’t been inundated with messaging that government is bad and understand that some of that was foreign-based, you’re just very naive. Are you in your 20s?

Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot. Republicans aren’t allowed to read the truth. Reagan/the GOP made a deal with Iran to hold the hostages longer so that Carter would be weakened in the election. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/expert-analyzes-new-account-of-gop-deal-that-used-iran-hostage-crisis-for-gain

I can’t believe you’re using such rabid, offensive language. Are you trying to attract people to your party or do you just assume they owe you their membership in the GOP?

Tell me this. If the GOP is so awesome, what have they done for the benefit of most Americans’ bottom lines?

Carter was weak by his own actions. He invited the crisis. Don't put our 53 hostages for 444 days on Reagan.

Just like today. You actually believe if you make overtures to Tehran, they will agree to JCPOA 2 and you're doing everything to make sure it happens.

You cannot buy love. Get used to it. Tehran hates us. Showing weakness will buy us nothing.
