mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/09/2026We already had the 2027 p4a. Don't even know what next year's will be. 120
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The answer is the medias "liberal bias". Members of the media are so far removed from what a Trump voter is that they totally miss what is going on 001
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 19/09/2026And this is why they say it. Its a position no one can come to on their own so if you hold it it means you are in the club. Its all in group bs 020
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 14/09/2026This is the exact point. The so called moderate Republicans are not particularly moderate, they just gesture towards moderation while mostly voting like all the rest, Republicans don't the. Crucify them for those gestures. (Trump does sometimes and then they lose those seats) 010
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Lmao, republicans are not real, just something made up by democrats to cover for their problems. Have you ever even met one of these so cold Republicans, im pretty sure they are just a myth at this point. 032
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Which Democrats exactly are not disavowing RFK jr? 110
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 18/08/2026This is what I don't get. If the owners don't care about having a salary cap they could get rid of it tomorrow and the players would be perfectly happy. 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Not it really is. Conspiracy theories are not wrong because they invent problems or are totally unjustified in their anger, they are wrong because they focus that anger in singular people and not complicated systems. 030
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026such that we are no longer losing on this issue. The alternative, is saying that there is nothing we can do, and either adopting apeasment, or losing. I am hoping for a 3rd option of, winning 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I feel like you are perscibing an idea onto me that I don't have. What I am NOT saying is "we should adopt policy ideas to try and win over bigots" What I am saying is, we need to find a way to take the people who are grossly uninformed on this issue and explain their "good faith questions". 110
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026"I don't think we should give them a single inch" so not sure what you mean here... 200
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Ok so i guess we just lose and thats that. I am not advocating that dems should pursue anti-trans policlies, I don't think we should give a single inch here. The only thing I am saying is, The polling on this issue is terrible and our only hope is finding a way to talk to these people. 110
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026We know this is not true. There is no evidence of this happening ever, and there are already policies in place to prevent it anyway, but that doesn't change how many voters have been conditioned to see this issue. I think there is room to move some of these people. and writing them off won't work 010
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026First, my main point, i think we are overestimating how much people know about this issue. I think for many of people in the 60+% camp, when they think about trans girls in sports, they think this is some kid who decides one day "im going to pretend to be a girl" and just does it. 101
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I agree with the componets of what you are saying but fear what it leads to. Yes saying that trans girls should be barred from sports is a bigoted belief, and in gerernal I agree that there are no good faith bigots. However I push back in a few ways. 200
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026And those people can be persusaded. Because saying that these people can't be won over is, essentially saying we are going to throw trans people under the bus, when we lose and thats that. 010
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026So I want to be clear I am not advocating throwing trans people under the bus. I object to the "You're not going to win them over" I am saying that while there is a sizable number of people who are just transphobic, I also think there are people who do not understand this issue at all. 210
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Again, you might be right. The anti trans rhetoric could have been a total redherring and people voted based on other things, but I also don't know and just dismissing it out of hand is a massive risk. 310
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026You have evidence to back this up? I think that 2024 was almost entirely a story about inflation but Trump's advertising leaned way in on trans issue and they clearly think it helped them. 110
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I'm not sure. I think the people who are very publicly talking about it are petty obviously talking about it in bad faith, but I also think the reason that trans inclusive sports polls so poorly is a lot of people have no idea what is actually happening or what it actually means. 040
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I'm sorry but I really disagree with this. The average person is far less informed about every than most people who are really plugged realize. 320
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The response is very simple: DEI is good actually. 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 26/07/2026You get that you are basically making the exact argument that conservatives make about DEI right? In order to deal with histroical discrimnation, we need policies that give those same people more opertunities to bring more people in 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Every time I say "people should stop wearing seatbelts" I get hit with "so basically you want more people to die in car crashes"... Yeah that's the longical conclusion from your argument. 010
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 26/07/2026If the end point of the argument is. There should be no women's sports at all. It smells a little misogynist. To be clear trans woman are woman and should be allowed to play woman's sports. 100
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Except no. Let's compare A'ja to her boyfriend. A'ja is the most dominant big in her game ever and likely the goat. She is 6'4". Bam is a very good to all star player maybe the 7th best current center. He's 6'9". A'ja is probably more "skilled" but physically should not hold up vs Bam. 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 26/07/2026There are not rules preventing a woman from playing in MLB. Now there are culture barriers and alike but it's not officially banned or anything. Do I think it's possible for a woman to be a pro pitcher? Yes maybe. does that mean that we should have no women's leagues at all? no absolutely not 010
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Yes. Because a whole second in a sport that lasts 9 seconds is a massive difference. 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I guess the question is will the dodgers feel that adding Skubul now is worth it when giving up prospects. I'm sure they have to contract all but signed for the off season 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Something I would add to the mind prison section is how the aspiration of housing has led to many nonwhite people to adopt this mindset as homeownership is the one way for them to build generational wealth 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 10/07/2026ok ill bite, can you name some of these rapists in the Maine Democratic party who are voting to replace Planter? 131

mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 06/07/2026This is bad but I will say that some of this in on Califonia. The ballots in CA are a mess, so many races for things people have no idea about, ballot measures that are confusing. I know so many people who are confused and just looking for something to explain what they should do. 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 30/06/2026It's really sad that even someone like you can fall down this maga pipeline. Just depressing really 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 18/06/2026It is never more complicated than people just assume that they are average. The average voter probably agrees with me in most things therefore there must people a lot more people like me 010
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 16/06/2026The board game iself is not because the game has not built in rewards for winning. A ranked ladder of catan would be. 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Different league and set up by back to back number 1 picks but I guess we'll see about Dallas 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I do wonder if the college teammate thing might show up somewhere. 120
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I always hear copycat league. If this is something you copy from the Knicks what is it? 010
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I beleive the word you are looking for is Wheeeee! 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Turns out the Knicks magic can survive even that 000
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 05/06/2026and because if a general in the Spviet Union said "im in charge here" that almost definitely would have meant a coup had taken place. 0413
mode9800.bsky.social @mode9800.bsky.social · 05/06/2026It is time for sweeping and strict regulation of video games. Games thay are just gambling simulators (even if the gambling is for im game points and not Money) need real oversite. And game devs should he held personally criminally response if they break them. 140
