IT’S NOT UP TO HIM. HE HAS NO CHOICE.

Whether he fakes a smile and shakes the orange fuckers hand makes no difference. He must leave. It’s what our stupid ass electorate dictated. He must now obey. That’s how this works.

He absolutely has a choice in exactly how welcoming he wants to be

Makes no material difference. We’re in for it either way.

It absolutely does. Go out with a bang, not a whimper! Show the people that you wanted to fight for them! Show them what you really think of this stupid, hateful rich asshole! Have a spine! Voters' memory is short, sure, but it wouldn't be nothing! And there are vulnerable people in the interim who need to know they're not alone!

But of course this is the team that thought leaning even more conservative would win them an election. Of course they'll happily wave this in.
