same reason republicans vote for Trump instead of neocon Democrats: why go for the generic brand when you’ve got the real thing?

A sizable number of write-ins are likely PSL too. They weren’t officially on the ballot in many states but had write-in status recognized.

Critical support where it’s due

I had a “Remind me” bot notification on reddit come in to gloat at a NAFO dork in one year as they were braying for blood in particularly deranged ways, and refusing to acknowledge that the privatization scheme in Ukraine was a bad thing actually, and so too was sending hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians into a meat grinder just to lose slowly anyway.

Since then, I got banned from World News in like the first few weeks of the active phase of genocidefor posting amnesty international and other humanitarian organizations assessment that Israel is an apartheid state/has committed crimes against humanity in the past (before Oct 7th) and thus violent resistance was justified, so I can’t comment directly in the same chain. I went to PM the dork, but their entire account got suspended during that time lmao. #bothsides strikes again I guess.

Fuck me the link didn’t work. Hang on.

Edit: Fixed it!

:God-Please-Kim-Katsuragi:

They were a write in in my state. My County has just shy of 400 write ins recorded, and I’m one of’em. I wish there was more granularity about those names given that PSL had “official” write in status, but none yet.

If only there were other options to engage in meaningful political struggle outside of just voting. Oh well, brunch is cancelled so I guess we just have to sit and feel sad until we can do a politics again.

Trying to put the bow back on, or pick it up, or I dunno anything really. Cats just do be that way sometimes.

Best outcome: Trump wins pissing off the liberals, then Trump does what he always does and gets fed up with losers thus Elon loses favor and gets kicked out of the WH orbit. This results in a Twitter meltdown and Trump using the power of the presidency (imagine that! Democrats literally can’t) to go after his new rival and finally takes the apartheid clown out.
