***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Sometimes I feel crazy voting for a party that wants voting to be even more accessible and easy so ppl can vote for the likes of Trump, Stein and even Harambe and have their voice heard.

And you have the GOP trying to restrict those same ppl and ppl who look like them and come from possibly casting their ballot by throwing up as many barricades and in turn they vote to help them in these efforts

I swear it feels crazy sometimes but that's the privilege some folks can walk with I guess

Those rights are conveniently overlooked
 
Verónica Garcia, a transgender female, won the 2A girls state title. It should be worth noting she did not break the state record, that title belongs to Jai’Lynn Merriweather, a CIS female.

Maybe TexasA&MAggie12thMan should push his daughter to train harder and be better instead of spewing hatred.
You are welcome to your opinion. I think that comment is just insane. Good for Jai'Lynn and I'll continue to encourage my daughter to train hard. Even if she is forced to compete against men lol.
 
I know im gonna get crushed on here unfortunately but I voted for the orange man pretty much solely based on the trans agenda that has been pushed by the left. I have a daughter who is also a female athlete. Last year she competed against a biological male in soccer and it was a joke show. It felt like something that couldn't be real to actually watch it.

Man he’s supporting got dozens of sexual assault cases against him with convictions. :rofl:

Wonder at what age the sports thing becomes an issue. My son’s first bball team had girls on it. My daughter got her yellow belt in karate and half the class was made of boys.
I wrestled and trained with girls early in highschool due to my low weight class. Not one person complained or batted an eye :lol:
 
If the comments made about LGBT community in this thread are that heinous i'm sure Meth will act accordingly.
This is a big part of the problem. You act incredulous I call out what I’m seeing here and suggest we just wait for the policeman rather than speak up about bigoted BS on this forum. Naaaaah. Whether it’s moderated or not it’s still trash. And we damn well know if it was racist and not homophobic or transphobic some dudes wouldn’t be waiting for a mod to speak up.
 
These last few pages remind me of conversations I’ve had with my friends who are basically single-issue voters with gun reform, Palestine and their idea of the "economy" without ever even learning about the basics of Economics. While I understand the impulse to prioritize a cause you deeply care about, it becomes problematic when that issue doesn’t have a significant impact on your life or when it overshadows other pressing concerns affecting the broader community. Actual issues that could have far-reaching consequences for everyone like reproductive rights. That's just one thing, the list is longer on Trumps side.

Someone having fears about biological males competing with their daughters are warranted, but it only affects you, and a small percentage of others. It's selfish, you can vote how you want, but you have to understand that it is selfish. Don't stand a pedestal and compare your problems to others and wonder why they are critical of it when its not even compareable. Voting is about making choices that not only serve your interests but also consider the well-being of the nation as a whole. So yes, vote how you want, but at least recognize that when your primary focus is on something with limited impact, it may be perceived as prioritizing your comfort over the greater good. I wish my life was so privileged that the only thing I am concerned about is a sporting event my kids partake in.
 
It’s not hatred for transgendered. It’s not wanting biological men to endanger women. It’s really not that hard to understand, but the trans movement is strong.
As is the bigot movement, apparently

If my daughter ever had a game/situation where a transgender played against her (“God forbid!”) I’d tell her to keep it pushing. It would be a non-issue, we’re not afraid of the gay/trans community the way apparently some people are

My daughter plays basketball. Some of the girls she’s went up against were double my size and I’m 6”. Is what it is

Airing your grievance is cool. Telling him to go away in an open forum politics thread is some childish ****.

If you don't want to deal with the opposing side at all you should make a Dems thread.

The biggest thing that annoys me about the whole lia thomas thing


The people at that meet breaking records, were born women and they got zero shine even from the “protecting ‘our’ girls” people

Lia Thomas didn’t break a single record or even come close (missy Franklin, Katie ledecky and 2 of the women at that meet have those college records), won a single event

Meanwhile at thar meet you had Kate Douglass who swam 3 individual races, won 3 individual races and broke every record in those events.. also win 3 relays and broke records in those relays too

Meanwhile we still hearing from the girl who came tied for 5th

While Kate Douglass is breaking world records and won multiple golds and other medals at the Olympics for the US

It’s not political, that’s the thing. Bigotry doesn’t have a place in our political system. If you want to champion taking human rights away in the name of a political party, you should go to a homophobic forum and spew that stuff. Gay and trans Americans have rights and we wouldn’t tolerate someone speaking down on all black Americans, all women, all Latinos, etc. That wouldn’t be considered political “discussion”, that would be considered racist garbage. This is no different.

I can't understand how any human on earth can believe its ok for a man to transition to a women and then would get to infiltrate spaces that biological women shouldn't have to share with a man. I don't believe that is a right, or at least it shouldn't be.
 
As a muslim, I'm conflicted voting for Kamala. Obviously not gunna vote for trump.
im in california so my presidential vote won't hold much weight
but still makes me feel not good voting for the party whos been in charge and overseen the past year of terror in gaza
not that the republican party would handle it any differently but it just don't feel good, politics suck

Are we supposed to be ok with trump at the very least sexually assaulting women?
 
"She may die over a pregnancy gone bad but at least she didn't have to kick a soccer ball with trans girl!"

What are we doing here people

I had to go back and read the thread to see how we got here and bruh lives in Washington state. He’s lucky enough to live in a state where if worse comes to worse regarding a pregnancy his daughter and other's in the future as well as the women who live there now are protected by that states laws for **** that really matters.

Being fortunate enough to live in a state ACTUALLY protecting women’s rights so you can vote on trivial stuff like being bothered by a trans kid in a soccer match. The irony.
 
I'll never understand why someone cares about what someone else is doing. If Jimmy wants to become Jane, great for them. Cindy wants to date Becky? Happy for the couple. Why on earth would I care? I just want people to be happy, especially when those actions do not affect me in the least.

All of us here collect SNEAKERS and some have the audacity to say that someone else is weird. Really?

Woah there man

If he said something out of line I'm sure Meth would act accordingly
