If the video was uploaded before youtube forced accounts for age restricted videos (I don’t know when that was exactly), you can check on web.archive.org if the video was archived and use the archived url in yt-dlp. If the video was uploaded more recently or there is no archive old enough, I don’t know of anyway to download it unfortunately

I second prism launcher, it’s foss has lots of functionalities and works perfectly on Linux

Wow, I can’t believe the dark wizards within the GOP figured out necromancy

Republicans will literally do this and then have the audacity to say they’re the ones being silenced

Rest in piss

I’m not talking about the right to play women’s sports being discussed on radio though. I’m talking about the votes that you seem to be ignoring that are meant to take away access to trans healthcare or restrict access to bathrooms or force trans women to go into men’s prisons where they are at a higher chance of being raped. You say the rights to play women’s sports isn’t the one you’re fighting for, but these people aren’t fighting for any transgender rights and are actually taking them away, a fact that you have not yet talked about other than calling it ''weak" even when it makes the lives of trans people miserable

The number of people arguing trans people should compromise and vote for people who actively take away their rights is disturbing

But neither me nor the article is saying to vote for Republicans, it’s just showing that these democrats voted for transphobic laws, if readers decide that that makes them not want to vote, then maybe the blame should be on the Democrats that willingly took away the rights of an oppressed minority and not on the people that don’t want to compromise on trans rights

No, that’s clearly not what I’m saying

You’re right that the article doesn’t say “you shouldn’t do that” but that’s not what I’m claiming, I’m saying the article says it’s up to the readers to consider if transphobia is a deal breaker, if it is then I would say the blame is more on those Democrats for being transphobic, than on the people that are against transphobia

Taking away an oppressed minorities right is “weak”, what would you consider strong evidence of them being transphobic then? Would they have to start directly beating trans people while calling them slurs? Because if you don’t consider taking away trans people rights transphobic then you don’t have any right to say who trans people should vote for.

Edit: Also I’m not trying to discredit all Democrats, only the transphobic ones

It’s interesting you quote that without showing the previous sentence

What you do with this information is up to you.

Also, these politicians didn’t just answer poorly to gotcha question, they actively helped pass bills that took away the rights of trans people

Shomari Figures and Terri Sewell […] Voted yes [for a bill] banning gender-affirming care for transgender service members

Mary Peltola […] One of only six Democrats to vote for [a bill] which contained severe anti-trans and anti-DEI amendments.

Adam Gray […] One of only three Democrats to vote for a bathroom ban on military bases for transgender people, along with a sports ban, a gender-affirming care ban, and several other anti-trans amendments to the NDAA.

Should I keep going or do you think all these bills that marginalize trans people were only “gotcha questions”?

Finally, AI can buy shit it doesn’t need, mimicking humans, we’ve truly reached AGI this time

I never said I wouldn’t vote for the Democrats if I could, the article doesn’t say you shouldn’t either, just that the author personnaly wouldn’t

I never called to vote for Republicans, I didn’t even say you shouldn’t vote for those Democrats and neither does the article.

All the article says is that those Democrats are transphobic and that the author, and that’s only his view, wouldn’t vote for them. I, myself would probably vote for them if I could vote in the US, but I can still understand why the author wouldn’t.

If there was an election between Hitler and Stalin, would you have voted for either one because he was slightly less worse than the other one? I personally wouldn’t have, if that is your case too then clearly there is a point where a candidate can be so bad you wouldn’t even vote for them if their opponent is worse, that threshold is just different for everyone

“Calling out transphobia is bad” - you, probably

If I remember correctly they didn’t say that no other phones would never be supported, but yeah unfortunately for now the ability to put graphene on lower end phones is still quite far away

Well good new is that they’ve already partnered with Motorola to make GrapheneOS available on (at least some) of their phones

How stupid do you have to be to look at that in public?
