A grey blue washed image of a bearded young ish white guy looking into the mirror all serious with his palm pressed against it.

I wonder how the tankies who didn’t support Harris are feeling now Biden had a ceasefire deal, 100 hostages released. Didn’t hold or even talk about it much. Trump gets ceasefire deal, 20 hostages released, Gaza obliterated and listening to the media he’s the greatest diplomat since Metternich

We could just celebrate a Nobel laureate’s own achievements and contributions to their field on their own merit. Instead of linking it and absolutely everything back to someone who didn’t win, didn’t deserve to win and frankly was never going to win.
