This is exactly what the USA is now. As an elected leader, what are you actually doing about it?
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social)
@thehill.com is fucking trash. If they want to hold on to ANY shred of decency, they will publicly and loudly denounce this garbage and apologize.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
And you need to stop offering a friendly platform for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. He spouts his toothless platitudes without any pushback from you regarding his lack of fight and his not supporting Mamdani. It's not a good look for you, pandering to the feckless. Be better!

when this hellish regime is finally toppled, we will remember what side he chose.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
what the fuck is this BS? if there are no 2026 elections, we can expect mass violence. We don't need to kiss Trump's ass or make nice with magats, we need dem leaders who can fire up the base, not obnoxious billionaires and do nothing politicians who are owned by AIPAC & others.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
oh, do shut up. they ARE in a cult, and they're beyond redemption at this point. What we need are inspiring dem leaders who will get the vote out, like Mamdani has. Get rid of the old DNC players, they're at best milquetoast, and at worst, complicit with their lack of fight!

I don't think we're the ones you need to be talking to. If you're really serious about this - as you should be - you'll fire up your colleagues. So far @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have been completely useless. Focus on them, they have the power to make a difference.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
Yup. Gleefully. The GOP is disgusting and needs to be stamped out. It's way beyond any chance of redemption.

This is scary and outrageous! Shame on @bsky.app for doing this. SHAME!!
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
thank you again. your responses really opened my eyes. I didn't understand before, but now I do. I've always been a strong supporter of trans people, but never knew what to say when people would ask me about the sports thing. Now I do and I'll be quoting you! I hope you have a lovely evening.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
In general, yes. but I simply made the error of thinking "it's just sports". I've always been a defender and advocate for the trans community, I just didn't understand this one issue.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you. I'm a queer man, so I understand that anger. I made the mistake of thinking "it's just sports".
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
That good to know. Thank you!
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
what you've written moved me, and really helped me understand the issue better. That was the one thing I was questioning, but your explanation pushed me off the fence. as a gay man I get it, I just didn't think sports was important, now I know it's not about sports. Thank you very much.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you. That's very helpful and makes complete sense.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
look, maybe I asked the question wrong, or maybe it's a question nobody is allowed to ask, I don't know. I was just wondering where the red line was. You've made it clear where you stand. thank you
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
I haven't espoused a position, I asked a question because I truly don't know the answer.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
I am very clear what a wedge issue is. I'm asking because many people believe there's an innate difference in athletic ability between people born men or women. I have no idea if that's true, and I honestly don't know where I stand on it because I don't know, so I was simply curious.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't know what that means.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm asking because many people believe that there is an innate difference in athletic ability between genders. I have no idea if that's true, and I truly don't know where I stand on the issue because I don't know, so I was curious what others thought.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
no, not at all. It's a serious question. I don't have the answer because I don't have any understanding of the physiology of men vs women or any innate differences from birth by gender. but that seems to be a big sticking point, so I was curious. if you didn't want to answer, you can just ignore.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
people like you are exhausting. nothing is ever enough, nobody fully meets your purity test... exhausting and divisive. that's what you were during your Bernie days, and that's what you are now.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
fuck her
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm honestly curious; if the trans community, which I truly support, was able to secure every right except for full participation in women's sports, would that be acceptable? And if the answer is no, why not? I'm not advocating, I'm asking.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
That @pbsnews.org felt it was appropriate to interview someone from the right wing think tank The Manhattan Institute about this with no push back, speaks volumes about what is wrong with PBS and other news organizations. What good is quoting Nazis about Nazism? Bone headed move.

hey @robertgarcia.bsky.social BREAK THE FUCKING RULES. This is just BS that you can't release the transcript, especially when Comer is lying about it. Stop playing by the rules when the other side no longer does. It doesn't make you look noble, it makes you look stupid. and we're all going to lose.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
AMEN! This can't be said often or loud enough. The dems playing by the rules is going to destroy this country. Take off the fucking gloves. I'm sure Garcia is a great guy, but unless he starts breaking "the rules" he's a part of the problem.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
"play by the rules". This is BS. There are no rules anymore, and Garcia still playing by them is why we are doomed. Dems playing by the rules is why we're losing every fucking fight. I'm not buying it anymore. Release the transcript yourself, or you're part of the problem.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
Good riddance.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
Garcia needs to just fucking say it. This is BS. Comer lied, tell us the truth. Release the fucking transcript. Don't say you "can't", just do it. there are no rules anymore, and if people like Garcia keep playing by the old ones, we're fucking doomed. Stop with this garbage and ACT!!!
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
Why isn't Garcia telling us what was said? This is BS. Of course Comer is lying, but Garcia, or any other dem who was there not counteracting that with the actual truth is why we're doomed. Fucking tell us what he said, just release the transcript. there are no rules anymore, they destroyed them.

The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
as someone who's been in this fight for over 40 years, I understand the frustration, but I also know that demanding perfection from everyone every time is NOT the answer. it's what petulant children do, or those who don't really want a solution.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree in theory, but as a queer man who has battled for all human rights for over 40 years, I have run into a lot of these people who require perfection. I believe in taking the 90% win and then coming back to fight for the remaining 10%. but many are just petulant children who will walk away.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not "trans people" that are the problem. It's people like Alias that are the problem. I will go to my death battling for trans rights, as a fellow queer person I believe we all win or we all lose. But I'm also pragmatic, and I will take the 90% win, then come back and fight for the final 10%
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
you're welcome. it was hard to find, I got it from a link off a gay news site.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
he's absolutely correct. People like you don't want solutions, they just want to find fault with everyone else that doesn't meet their high standard of perfection. but when it comes down to it, nobody can meet it, ever, so nothing ever gets accomplished.
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
Which hasn't happened, so...... Are you hoping this happens?
The Lovely & Talented Mr. B! (@bobbarbos.bsky.social) reply parent
This still won't be enough for people like Alias. They demand perfection and pick up their marbles and go home when they don't get it. It's divisive and disastrous (as we're now seeing in real time)
