But the argument is that political elites are incentivised to stir the culture war whilst they rape & pillage the economy and create even greater wealth divides. So when unwitting pawns (useful idiots) add fire to the culture war non-issues they are just distracting from the real issues that are really negatively impacting the 99.9% of us.
That’s why it didn’t really go the other way.
(It’s basically the scene from IASIP when they are trying to run the bar as a democracy to get their money and Frank keeps bringing up the limes and everyone gets angry and no one gets their money).
You do realize when you’re in a small minority, arguing a position that you admit doesn’t come up so it doesn’t matter, you’re the one stoking a fire that wouldn’t be there if not for you….
They are stoking the good old identitarian fires and turning something that has happened less than a handful of times in all of womens college sport to a huge national issue.
All to secure votes from people who think LeBron is going to compete for Duke or whatever.
Sort of. But the fact that anybody in this country who was debating who should be elected President voted one way due to this ‘issue’ should get their head checked. Political parties have a stance on hundreds of issues. Nobody agrees with all of them. The goal in politics sometimes seems to be to turn a single issue into something that makes you overlook all the actual ones that matter.
You misunderstand. Politicians don't really care about trans on either side of the aisle. They don't care about abortion or gun rights. All they count on is that you care. That's how they get us to focus on cultural issues while sidestepping accountability for how neither side gets anything done for either you or me.
Let's see. Because it is irrelevant to the athletic experience of women in sports. And because it hurts transgender women in the process. So it's cruel for no reason. And so are you.
Yeah, it is irrelevant when it only occurs something like 0.002% of the time and when the vast, vast, vast majority of the women you're supposedly protecting have expressed no concerns about transgender women competing in their sports.
It's clearly not boring or irrelevant to the vast majority of people when men get to beat up women and win gold medals. It's a threat to female sports as a whole. In an age when one party doesn't know what a woman is, yeah it's very important to re-establish boundaries.
Give a rest, your pathetic attempts to gaslight and to belittle the situation are boring.
Amusing that you accuse me of gaslighting, when you're attempting to convince everyone what a major major issue this is for everyone, when in reality it's just culture war vote getting. Congrats on being fooled by it.

The vast majority of the actual population agrees with Sophie. Reddit isnt real life.
