    Instead of “if you’re not with us, you’re against us”,

    It’s “as long as you’re against them, you can be with us.”

    And frankly, that’s what we need right now.

    First past the post voting is fucking garbage but this is how you’re supposed to engage it; it’s NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to be good for supporting the lesser of two evils.

    Instead, the best thing it can ever do is punish the greater evil

    And these are VERY DIFFERENT GOALS.

    If people were voting to punish the Trump campaign, Kamala would have won.

    Notably, people very much voted to punish Kamala instead. Even the ones on the left. And boy did we show her -_- now we ALL get to suffer.

      Cool, I’m with ‘Nazis, Pedophiles, and Rapists AGAINST drumpf’, let’s meet up, I’ll bring the gang.

      In all seriousness, these people have been cheering on the most heinous shit for years now. Feel free to reconcile with that at your own risk, but leave me tf out.

        Listen, if I have a chance to meet up with Nazis, pedos, and rapists, that means they’re all gathered to the same place and I can rid the world of a LOT OF SCUM at the mere cost of my own life and some volatile equipment. Not many people have a chance to do so much good in their life or death for that matter. Let them think they’re welcome until they’re no longer useful. And by that I mean immediately.
