You're completely right. I did the American thing that Americans are wont to do. Apologies.

Y'all, we if we ever want to accomplish anything positive on the left we have to start thinking about our tactics. These sorts of left on left circlejerk firing squads don't help anyone, anywhere, ever.

We have to save our vitriol for the real enemy.

I would bet their not great people. There is probably a reason he grew into the awful person that he is. I would wager those are the same reasons he doesn't want to help them financially.

She clearly plays TF2.

I need someone to Photoshop Geordie's visor onto this.

Yes. Yes.
