The correct answer is “the team they first win as in a video game about the sport”.

A runner up is “Coolest animal” chosen for mascot. (And no, if a team does not have an animal for a mascot, it is not a viable option. Sorry, thems the rules)

I feel like “Lincoln’s Repeater” in Fallout 3 should have been this gun instead. I mean, I get what they were going for, but this is way cooler.

Real talk bro, are you okay? That response seems… a bit extreme for just telling you you missed someone else’s point.

I never claimed anything of the sort, which kind of proves my point.

Your reply had nothing to do with their accusation, nor subsequently mine. You might as well have been responding to an entirely different statement. Hence my, perhaps unnecessarily glib, comment about your reading comprehension.

Reading Comprehension… Isn’t really your strong suit huh?

Awww… Give yourself a little credit! If you were born the successor of a slave employing Emerald Mine fortune, you could fail your way up too!

So uh… Where are your mega millions then champ???

Borderlands 2, in the mission “Kill Yourself”

I say we push them harder, hard enough that they mandate single person unisex bathrooms, with the fancy auto room washing function they have in Japan. Then I can finally crap in peace.

God damn, this is like reverse Poe’s Law. I thought for sure your first post was sarcasm.

And we are very sorry…

What did Colorado ever do to deserve this?

No, that’s also a pretty terrible plan. Though since I never suggested we do that, nor did I blame those who supported Harris, I have to wonder who you are talking to?

For long term political goals, I’m fully on board with you.

For immediate resistance to fascism, we are already all on the same side, or so I hope.

My greatest fear is that you are right.

I say we keep talking about it at least until after there is another democratic election in the US

Just in time to divide us again and let the situation get worse. Planning on making the same bad choice you are accusing others of huh?

That’s very true, and we see it election cycle after election cycle. But for many who voted Blue, the Dem’s are not “their party”. They were playing the best hand they were dealt in a terrible situation. And while I get feeling sick to your stomach over playing that hand when the chips are peoples lives, I also get the cold calculus some people are willing to make for the greater good.

Frankly, Abstainers and Lesser Of Two Evil Voters have been, imho, radicalized against each other due to the contentious nature of the election. I don’t believe the camps were so separate a year ago.

If we all want to keep dying on this hill, well we certainly can and will. But I’ve talked to folks on both sides, and they largely want the same outcomes. Even if we all didn’t agree on the solution.

The election proved that divided we are not a larger group than the fascist collation in this country. But I’m willing to be combined we are.

And we don’t have to argue over the election anymore, so unless we want to find another hill to die on, I once again propose we agree with pushing towards are shared goals.

On this platform, we have also had genuine people struggle with supporting a system and party that directly cause harm, even if it would cause less harm then the alternative. And many of them went from struggling with finding the right choice, to full on radicalization towards abstaining because of the smug posting of people on this platform who acted as if it was stupid or evil for them to struggle with their moral compass.

I get that everyone feels very strongly about their positions in this, and that these feelings are directly tied to our personal beliefs.

But the reality is, those who abstained and those who voted Blue share many fundamental beliefs. And we can either let this election be the hill we all collectively die on, or we can let bygones be bygones and stand united to help those we still can.

And here is the kicker, it may feel good to say those who came to a different conclusion than you should “feel bad”, but if you do, you will be guilty of the same sin you so strongly accuse them of.

Sounds like you have your hands full dealing with getting you and yours to safety. Good luck, I wish you all the best in that endeavor!

I can’t blame you for being angry, but just try not to let that anger turn you into the thing you are angry at. Someone who stands idly by when someone needs help you could provide.

Real Talk, I’m getting real tired of everyone from the vaguely right of center to the farthest reaches of the left getting involved in this shit slinging blame game.

I legit don’t care anymore who you voted for (edit: so long as it wasn’t Trump I mean. But even then, time to start your redemption arc if you did). We are past the election and now all share the same immediate issues.

Folks who abstained from voting (or voted 3rd party) because you couldn’t stomach the lesser of two evils, good news, that choice is gone. You can stop parroting the idea that anyone who voted Blue did so “in support of genocide”. It should be clear by now those who voted Blue really were just doing their best in a bad situation, they are not your enemies.

Folks who voted Blue because you believe supporting the lesser evil is in service of the greater good. Good news, that burden is also gone. You can stop parroting the idea that someone who can’t stomach voting for people who would play politics with genocide is really just a tankie or a bot. Not every one is willing to play game theory with people’s lives, that doesn’t mean they are your enemies.

Anyone who truly wants to push for solidarity and human rights for all is an ally of mine. And I propose we bury the hatchet, preferably in the objectives of fascists, before its too late.
