edit: lmao you guys replying are the best!
You misspelled “ruining”
Oh they are very competent at ruining it
Nonono he's right. I just also misspelled impotent.
Incompetent? That's by design.

Meanwhile, my previous professor received death threats that they "need to be lynched" for refusing to mourn him. They were also fired for stating they won't mourn him.
edit for clarity
They were fired for being told that they needed to be lynched?
Just to be clear, I'm reading it as "the Prof got fired for saying they wouldn't mourn Kirk, and someone else said the Prof should be lynched too"

Oh they want me to remember Charlie Kirk? Oh... okay, I got you, fam. I'm going to dedicate my one annual Facebook post to remembering classic Charlie quotes.
I'm going to need to collect some real bangers. I want to share the entirety of the man I know him to be.
Don't forget to include the vids of when he accidentally "debates" people that were actually prepared

That's cool, we'll rename it to Fascist Fountain day later on.
Remember kids, the midterms are only a year away. If your Democrat is on this list, you need to find a new one!
We will once again be faced with (a) More Trump or (b) ???
Third-partiers, clock is running out!
Third parties are irrelevant. They have failed continuously for over a hundred years. How is someone going to build an effective 50 state organization, find and vet candidates that won't betray us in office, raise awareness with absolutely no old media coverage and social media that buries them, then win an election in 14 months? There are some solid progressives running in Democratic primaries, and they are the ones that need resources.

I don’t understand why any Dem would even bother voting on this. Just abstain or don’t show up for the vote. What could they possibly gain from a yes vote?
Showing their trues Colors
I would understand not wanting to bother to vote because dumb but i prefer they go and vote against.

The left has been remembering Charlie Kirk for the past week and a half - the right hasn't seemed to enjoy it very much.
No one should forget his literal quotes. He should be remembered for the christofascist he is. Women shouldn't be allowed to attend his funeral because they should be barefoot and pregnant at home.
Some of that hateful bigots choice opinions:
-Gay people should be stoned to death
-Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane
-Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband
-No one should be allowed to retire
-Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states
-British Colonialism was what “made the world decent"
-The guy who assaulted the Pelosi's should be bailed out
-Multiple black politicians “stole white people's spots"
-MLK Jr was “an awful person”
-The Great Replacement Theory is reality
-Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID
-Vaccine requirements are “medical apartheid”
-Guns deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment
-Women's natural place is under their husband's control
-Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control
-George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn't
-The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a “huge mistake”
-Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates
-Mamdani winning in NY is a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
-Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization
-Palestine "doesn't exist" and those who support it are like the KKK

So they want the memes every year, loud and clear!
I figure they intentionally picked a day that is coming up soon, instead of using the day he died to ensure everyone still has their feathers ruffled and see if they can instigate another murder they can capitalize on
Haha they picked his birthday becuase it's right around the corner because they knew no one is gonna remember that piece of dirt next year.

I'm actually down for this. Dead Nazi Day!!
Who wants to play a round of shoot-the-neck-off-the-piñazi?!
I'll bring drinks.
More like national day of celebrating his death, hopefully.
Start organizing protests and building effigies to burn.
A whole day to remember the Epstein files? Seems like overkill when they could just release them.
October 14 as "release the Epstein Files day" seems like an odd alternative to simply releasing them.
This is going to backfire on the GOP in spectacular fashion.
The DNC... well that depends on if Americans keep voting them back in.
Please Americans, run for office or support someone new to politics running for office!!
If they control TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and every TV channel can have their license revoked for saying anything that can be misconstrued as against Trump... I fear it won't matter much who runs. Their will be ads everywhere lying about them and guiding the public into not showing up to the polls to elect someone he doesn't like, and if all else fails he'll just have the electors faked and pardon the people he asks to fake them before leaving office this time.
Then the next president he chose just threatens the states who try to place state charges against those people
This means paid time off for US workers…. Right… right?
Lol, no.
wow I didn't expect them to make it a whole celebration but ok if you ask for it

I think I just discovered a way to make more holidays
Why do we need a whole day just to be reminded of this piece of shit?
It's a reminder that republicans are racist sexist christian nationalist nazi hypocrite traitors.

But I thought it was in remembrance of what would have been George Floyd’s 47th birthday on October 14th. I think they messed up and should fix it.

Sherrill
The Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey if anyone was wondering.
Here's the contact email for her campaign: info@mikiesherrill.com
Sure, remind every lawmaker who this guy really was every year on George Floyd’s birthday.
Maybe tie it to 50% off rifle scopes and a free marksmanship lesson. In memory of why we celebrate this day.
