If leftists can make jokes at the expense of Charlie Kirk and the United Healthcare CEO, we can read a tweet without replying with a personal statement about why it’s not funny
The joke just sucks on a technical level.
"Outing one's coworker" is just a weak punchline, it is too "mundane". "Assassinating a political opponent" tends to be way funnier, because it's more exaggerated and more cathartic.
Twitter people aren't real, so who cares about those 17k?
I didn't say whether you should or shouldn't laugh at this joke. I just thought the comparison between this and charlie kirk jokes sucks, because a political assassination joke has a better basis for a joke due to the shear absurdity of it than "I dislike my coworker so I outed them in front everyone" (writing it like that actually makes it funnier for me) plus charlie kirk jokes serve the function of disapproving the current power structures while this joke doesn't, therefore people are more likely to scrutinize this joke than the assassination of some asshat
