    If the transphobic demokkkrats win: transphobia will have been proven to be an effective strategy so the party will double down on it

    If the transphobic demokkkrats lose: it will be because the party wasn’t transphobic enough so they’ll double down on it

    The real outcome of today is DEMOCRACY

    It isn’t really important who you vote for. The most important thing is that you vote.

    But don’t vote third party because the system is designed so that structurally only two parties can dominate so voting 3rd party means your vote is wasted.

    Also those two parties… ok so both of them are going to fund Israel and both of them are going to blockade Cuba. But only one of them is going to state they’ll bomb the ICC. The other one won’t repeal the “bomb the ICC” law but they won’t say they’ll bomb the ICC so you know maybe they won’t bomb the ICC.

    One of the parties has Muslim candidates. About two or three of them that matter. Out of hundreds. Which is better than the party that had zero. You have to admit this. It’s at least 0.5% better.

    Fucking vote.

    Looks like our boy Greg in Ohio is gonna land right around 100k votes when all is said and done. A no name communist who worked a full time job as a mover the whole campaign! We busted our asses here for a year to make this happen and couldn’t be more proud.

    Talarico will win the Texas senate race. I say that because, in Portuguese, a “talarico” is a guy who has sex with another guy’s wife, particularly if he’s a friend of the cucked husband.

    So if he does win, since he will be taking a seat that has been occupied exclusively by the GOP since 1988 (or so I’ve read), it will be the rightful fulfilling of the prophecy of nominative determinism.
