I cashed out of the Neo altogether in 2006, and could give two fucks about it as far as video games go as there is a TON of stuff I have yet to get to, that is all better than the joke offerings from the Neo in it's final years. Speak for yourself on that one.
Yes we get that, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't call a spade a spade.
Instead of deflecting from the Orangutan and his supporters by trying to shift the debate back to what the Democrats do, or don't do, the goal should be to criticize as necessary irregardless of party. Right now the problem remains that the Republicans hold both houses of Congress and the White House. Mitch McConnell's dick is dripping at the thought of fucking America over, and even if you are conservative leaning, recognizing that the man is a scumbag should be partisan. He and the rest of the hack Republicans are part of the problem. Why you, a person who has said he is transgender would EVER vote for a Republican is difficult to fathom since the Republicans collectively hate everything you represent. You don't think that if they could get away with it, there would be Federal laws being put on the books that deprive you of your rights as a person? Here's the kicker bud, I'm not either Democrat or Republican, but I believe in calling a spade a spade at the end of the day. Yeah Obama fucked up on some things completely as has every President before him no matter their party affiliation. But all of the bullshit rhetoric about him being a Kenyan Muslim was just that, and the country didn't fall apart as the GOP predicted it would because most people don't give a fuck about their stupid bullshit other than angry middle-aged and up white people who swallow Rupert Murdoch's joy juice while simultaneously jacking off to porn as they flip thru the bible.
I know you say that you're not either a Dem or a Rep...but somehow, your words speak loudly contrary to that. I've read much of what you've typed over the years and I'd say you lean more than you think.
As for me? The answer is simple I choose what I see to be the lesser of two evils. I look at the overall picture and think to myself "what things will these people pass that really will effect me?" Does that make me a selfish prick? Maybe...then again, I don't care and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm no humanitarian, and I'll openly admit to it.
I look at what these parties claim they want to ban/regulate, then I look at what they historically ban/regulate. I look at where they want power to go, how they give out funds, why they help, and who they ignore. I try to see what side will do best by me, not by you, or my neighbor, or someone else I've ever met. Everything I do on a daily basis is in the realm of how it will effect myself and my family. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'll say that there is a large amount of ground both the L and the R share...far larger than most admit.
In the end, I often vote Republican...not always, but often. I'll never say that I agree with anyone 100%...as a matter of fact, I've long said I really do not care for anyone in national politics (or state politics for that matter). the problem is, I only get to choose one or the othe
Lastly...the transgender issue. I'm a coward, I won't deny it. I do not have the courage to "come out" to a vast majority of people in my life. Truth be told, I regret bringing it up here. This place, at times, skims too closely to my "real" life and in many ways, that truth would ruin me...possibly even my career. Bringing it up here was a huge mistake. I had a few good discussions but for the most part, it's been thrown in my face like some sort of weapon (not saying you did that, because you didn't).
I'm not so foolish to think that Trump, or Clinton, or Obama, or Bush, or whomever is in the White House is going to effect the reality of trans people. That kind of change takes social conditioning, not laws.
me fucking too, but the real answer is that smokehouse isn't actually transgender.
Was that really necessary?
