Gabe [11:27pm]: I’m saying, I get it now

Gabe [11:27pm]: Why you were angry with me

Gabe [11:27pm]: I’m angry with me

Anya [11:27pm]: Oh, friend

Anya [11:28pm]: It was a bad day, ok?

Anya [11:28pm]: My candidate met with an anti-gay marriage mothers’ group last week

Anya [11:28pm]: Explained how she thinks some issues are better left to the states

Gabe [11:28pm]: Shut up

Gabe [11:28pm]: Did you have an aneurysm?

Anya [11:29pm]: No, I had a nice dignified cry in the privacy of my office and went about my day

Gabe [11:29pm]: I bet I’d feel better if I’d done that

Anya [11:30pm]: I actually thought about you

Gabe [11:30pm]: Were you thinking “Gabe is always supporting candidates who do amoral crap like this”?

Anya [11:31pm]: No. I was thinking, fuck. You’ve been right this whole time

Anya [11:31pm]: Because as much as I hate my candidate’s pathetically weak non-stance on gay rights, if she loses, we’re gonna get a guy in office who’ll actively legislate to take away every right from LGBT people he possibly can

Anya [11:32pm]: And that matters too

Anya [11:32pm]: They can’t all be Jo Sessego

Gabe [11:33pm]: Christ, Anya. Why are we in this miserable business?

Anya [11:33pm]: Should we quit? Go work office jobs with Kira and Simone?

Gabe [11:33pm]: No, we’d have to get further outside politics than that

Gabe [11:33pm]: Start over, buy a little farm somewhere they’ll never find us

Anya [11:34pm]: I’m confused, are we quitting politics or escaping the long arm of the law?

Gabe [11:34pm]: Don’t kid yourself, we’re too good

Gabe [11:34pm]: The candidates, the committees, they’ll never stop hounding us as long as we’re alive

Gabe [11:34pm]: We’ll probably need new names

Anya [11:35pm]: I’ll have some IDs made just in case

Gabe [11:35pm]: Smart

Anya [11:36pm]: You’re not worried we’d get bored on a farm?

Gabe [11:36pm]: You and me? Not possible.
