Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Tempting as It is, it would be a mistake to assume this is explained by having toxic views. There are unfortunately awful people who look youthful. This is certainly what offending the hair and make up department will do. 000

Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 29/09/2026None of the stuff in the video are *your points* because, again, you aren't in the video. Unless... are you Hasan Piker? 201
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Unless you are in the video or feeding a script to any of the participants in the video, the video is completely irrelevant to our argument. If you want to pick out a talking point they raise and make it yours we can discuss that. I can't argue with a YouTube link for what should be obvious reasons. 100
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Bit obvious that you are attempting to distract the argument to completely different things just because you have no response to what is put directly to you. I'm not arguing against anyone in your YouTube video, you have the problem and need to apply thinking. 200
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It makes more sense to blame the swing voters they think need a little bit of transphobia as a treat before they can tolerate not bombing Iran or rounding up brown people without body cams. They sound like the selfish guys to me. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 28/09/2026All of the things you lost as positives for voting Dem can be done without touching trans rights. That's the problem with this argument. Do all that basic, bare minimum stuff and then leave trans people alone too. But no, they do some unnecessary active bad too people and blame the victims. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's selfish and feckless for Dems and you to insist that Dems deserve votes even when they abandon people. It is underpinned by the idea that the electorate has greater responsibility and duty of care to the wider society and fellow humans than politicians. 010
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If Dems are going to think there is a magic number of people they have to throw under the bus in exchange for better votes it's not selfish for the people they abandon to turn around and say 'OK, good luck with the lesser racists and transphobes'. It's what they asked for. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026You've either learnt and grown or been harassed, can't be both and it's self absorbed to mistake criticism for insult and attacks. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Nope. People staying home is a vote a politician didn't earn. If you lose because your policies don't work for the voters you need - that's a problem caused by that politician and political advocates. Don't abandon the voters you need to win is the upshoot of this argument. 1110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026No one is arguing that Paxton is good or that the US is a healthy democracy. Quite the opposite. 070
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm in the UK. We've already had this situation play out. What happened is trans people got rights removed when the so-called 'progressive' party got in and still thought they have to appeal to right wing voters. 0141
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026You're an example of the useful idiot if you must know. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026No, that is clearly not me speaking for trans people. Nor is there any necessary or reasonable means to assume that either of the two stereotypical politicians are you. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm not specifically arguing against Talarico. I'm arguing against the system people like Talarico upholds which doesn't fight against Nazism at all. 000
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If I was trans* and one person wanted to call me slurs and take away my rights and the other guy thought the slurs were the problem, you bet I'm recognising that the purpose of the system is what it does and who is a useful idiot for that system. *Black, Muslim, anti-genocide etc. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Hey, do you know what someone's shitty views are called after you take the bold decision to elect them to political office? A mandate. 100
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Democrats are adding credit to it. I clearly wrote that to help make it obvious and avoid the need for clarification for anyone reading it. 000
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026You're not derogatory of the culture wars. You're only derogatory about culture wars when Republicans do it, otherwise it's just sparkling pragmatism. 130
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Just because it's Democrats culture wars-lite you insist everyone has to begrudgingly accept doesn't make it waffles. 100
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If the Republicans are playing culture wars by throwing LGBT, black and Muslim people under the bus, and Democrats lean into it a little - adding credit to the culture wars and you insist everyone still vote otherwise the worse culture warriors win... then that's everyone playing culture wars. 200
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 27/09/2026That is in no way analogous to the argument you just had. You said you hate the culture war but accepted human rights is part of the culture war and you insist everyone plays along with Republicans/fascists culture wars. Your politics are what you claim to hate. 230

Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 25/09/2026She also blamed the criticism on the 'wokes' and 'sjws', so that's the kind of apology it was. 041
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 24/09/2026No we don't. You can't reason bigoted people out of bigotry. 081
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It's 2026, we can be certain that access to the internet doesn't make JKR better. 010
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Arguing in 2026 that access to the internet would have improved 1996 JKR is not feasible. 010
Reposted by Drew JonesGift @giftmacher.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This is why I hate the way "debate" gets treated as some sort of sacred ideal when it is, in fact preening intellectual masturbation. It's the thinnest veneer over an exercise in giving serious consideration to the least ethical and evil ideas going. Where slick argument strangles reason. 15412

Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Sure. My point is that you can still get paid, have people help you make your terrible output, even find an audience when your outlook and politics are terrible and repetitive albeit varied. If Glinner held himself back just a bit he could've still made stuff and his mates would be happy for him. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 31/08/2026If the money to make something was there, people would make their excuses and turn up for the pay check. If brave little cis boys can churn out stuff like Alley Cats, you wonder where the line is. 100
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Yeah, he's not well, he's unlikely to get better and certainly won't get back his comedy touch. Perhaps the same qualities that made him a successful writer are those that now drive his monomania. 120
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Doesn't sound like he needed to climb down or stop the transphobia. Just pause it occasionally and talk about anything else with his friends. It's not as if it's frowned upon or a barrier to work in middle class media circles. 160
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 30/08/2026And Big Train. Also wrote on Day Today, Fast Show, Harry Enfield, Brass Eye. You can't discuss any British 90's comedy without him being in there. He really was talented and merited the success. 110
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 30/08/2026and another thing, I'm not mad. Please put in the newspaper this article I penned about how "My marriage ended because I refused to stop fighting for the rights of my wife and daughter" 000
Drew Jones @skiptotheend.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The thing with all the ex-friends and family he lists as traitors is that they have never aggressively criticised him publicly. They just told him to tone it down a bit and/or take a bit of time off from the transphobia every once in awhile and he couldn't even tolerate that. 2550
