        and voted to confirm Rubio

        confirming rubio got him out of the senate so it’s hard for me to be mad about that because i’ve had coworkers i’d be like “yeah promote that guy to another division” to get away from him.

          In a situation where a shithead will be promoted no matter what happens and another shithead will take their Senate seat no matter what happens, the question of what to do becomes one of optics and signaling defiance, voting for Rubio did noting except demoralize and confuse his base and damage credibility in the long term

          “The lone voice of dissent” is a powerful propaganda tool and he gave it up because he wanted to go along, to delusionally get along

        Hey, no shade, but you know the Leroy Jenkins thing was racism? Look up the original video, it was a racist roleplay guild, and the name Leroy Jenkins is a minstrel character (blackface)
