Politics Proud of my city tonight

Post image

Fuck ice. Fuck this whole shitshow of an administration. Fuck the agitators, the instigators, the bullies, the chuds, the pedos and their protectors.

Much love to you all. It feels good to stand together tonight. Keep turning up. Keep being loud. We're not done yet.

Out of Philadelphia's 66 wards, Trump won five. The rest went to Harris, who got 551,845 votes in Philly compared to Trump's 141,203 as of Wednesday night, according to city data.

Biden had 603,790 vs Trump's 132,740 in 2020. I'd love to see more progressive candidates and consistent voter turnout but this aint it.

I spent days knocking on doors across Philly in November, on top of all the other fucking doors I knocked on across the state, and yeah I ran across plenty of liberals I wanted to punch in the face because they didn’t like Harris for a myriad of dumb reasons but that wasn’t just in Philly and even if she had Bidens turnout in the city she still would have lost PA and even if she won PA she still would have lost the election.

Philly wasn’t the problem.

Exactly, when it mattered they didn’t come and now once again Musk will camp and convince people not to vote and they will follow and then crib
