    • Both sides are the same!!! Right? Where y’all at now?! Amazingly silent now that it’s clear that was just an excuse to not vote for a “girl”. Anyone who brayed this line is worse than MAGA. At least we knew where they stood. Y’all both sides people pretended (and continue to pretend) you were allies. You’re not.
