  • Sup, ICE. You’ve done such a good job emulating your rolemodel from the 1930s/40s with the mustache, I think you’ve all earned a fast-track in that career!! Just skip right to the end and go ahead and feed yourself that bullet! Remember not to aim perpendicular to your throat - that’ll just punch a potentially nonfatal hole: instead aim it up toward your brain!

    You are a traitor not just to your country, but to all of humanity: your legacy will only ever be that of a villainous cautionary tale.

    Best of luck with the go kill yourself! 💖









  • That’s not the point I’m making - the people who chose not to vote over Harris’s comments are fucking morons. They share responsibility for Trump’s victory and everything he’s done since.

    But the time to look past Harris’s comments, shut our mouths, and vote strategically for her was during the general. The election is over, and there is no longer reason to defend her, or contrast her against Trump. She isn’t a lesser evil anymore.

    And there’s the core of my point: looking at her objectively, she is evil. She stands right alongside the voters who opted out in culpability for Trump’s victory and enabling the current dismal state of our country.

    That’s why I think the whole “America isn’t ready for a women” spiel is BS. Both of the women we’ve run recently were fucking horrible candidates: but even so they lost by a narrow enough margin that blaming the outcome on the contents of their pants is a failure to consider the other variables at play.

    If we ran a woman who was actually likeable, doesn’t have a history full of scandals, and doesn’t come out in the 11th hour of the general to say something detrimental like support for genocide… then that woman will win.


  • Yeah no shit - for half of our voters, those things are all selling points. If we run a man who’s an absolute piece of shit against a woman who’s less so, but still very much a piece of shit, the man will win every time. As I said, sexism is definitely a factor.

    If we run a man who’s an absolute piece of shit against a woman who isn’t a piece of shit… who fuckin knows: we haven’t tried that. But Harris’s odds seemed pretty solid until she started publicly supporting Israel’s genocide on Gaza: so she lost a hefty chunk of support from the half of voters who are turned off by evil behavior; meanwhile the bigot’s popularity with bigoted voters remained unsurprisingly steady.
