Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 7hI don't know if LeBron has done this, but more and more athletes have spoken out in recent years about the abuse they get from gamblers and fantasy players when they don't perfrom. You kind of don't get to whine about that while also promoting this stuff. 020
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 9hYeah, we should let them vote for representatives who don't want to use state power to restrict their ability to act freely. 020

Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"All the Nader voters belonged to Gore." Have you ever met a person who votes 3rd party? They are the most insane, irrational people on the planet. It's never that clean, and the point being made is that it wouldn't even matter if SCOTUS hadn't declared counting votes illegal. 100
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"A while back". The first time we ever engaged was a week ago, Rob. And it was another instance of you engaging in bad faith about leftists. 000
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Just admit it was stupid comparison and that you're both wrong for engaging with a moronic premise. 000
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sure would be cool if you guys were okay with any pushback at all. Rob tried to make a stupid point, that leftists being okay with Russell Brand 15 years ago and not okay with him now is the same thing as right wing morons falling for the astroturfed tea party. 100
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Rob has done 1,000X more harm than Hasan Piker. He doesn't get to have opinions on leftists. 010
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026And sorry, but I simply refused to be lectured by a guy taken in by the tea party. The only words he's allowed to have about the left are "I'm sorry for being so stupid, and I will hang my head in shame forever." 110
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026You only think he's saying this stuff in good faith because you aren't a leftist. As a leftist I can see what he's doing, which is bad faith discrediting by association. 110
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The fundamental thing you guys need to realize with Piker is that if he's beyond the pale for you then there isn't a lib-left alliance to be had. 010
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Like do you idiots hear yourselves? What is the argument you're even making? 100
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yes, when he was saying he was a progressive and there weren't public SA allegations he was "liked". But you brought him up in a context of "con artists" the left was falling for. When shit came about about Brand no one defended him ever again. 110
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The entire comparison is fucking stupid from the start. There's nothing happening with Hasan Piker that bears any resemblence to the billionaire financed tea party scam. Rob just needs to feel like everyone is as stupid as he is. 110
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Whether or not Brand ever was or considered himself a progressive, he never mattered to leftist politics. 120
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The context is that Rob is naming people that in some way matter to leftist politics. That has never described Russell Brand, and it's stupid to bring him up here. 120
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026More people in Florida voted for Al Gore than W. Whatever else you want to say about this, that's what happened and the SCOTUS disallowed the counting of votes. 050
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I agree it's tiresome that you're fucking this goat 26 years later, but that's the choice you've made. 280
Derek @dbauer09.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's a mathematical certainty that Gore got more votes in Florida. The issue is that SCOTUS decided counting the votes would have violated W's right to be president. 270
