    It’s wild to me that it’s so controversial for a politician to criticize this.

    Very obvious war crimes and ethnic cleansing

    If he wins, the dem establishment is fucking joever. It will show that people will actually vote for candidates that behave like empathetic human beings and the democratic and republican parties have very few of those.

      I imagine the one thing most needed to get into Democratic politics is to pretend to kowtow to them. Promise you’ll vote for their antisocial policies. Then don’t, and say it’s because you need to build up public goodwill, and the vote they wanted wasn’t going to pass anyway, etc.

      Good. Sometimes I fantasize about getting into local politics but have been fearful I’m not self centered enough to be successful. This gives me hope.

      If they can’t bury him with their capital, ownership of media, etc … They will murder him.

      Let’s not delude ourselves here. We’re taking about a collective of megalomaniacs, psychopaths, and narcissists who wage wars and commit genocide on behalf of the almighty dollar. They have no problem mass murdering babies. Murdering millions of innocent civilians is of no consequence to these demons. Neutralizing some elected socialist is nothing more than a line item on a Tuesday morning to them.

      I’m not suggesting anyone back down. I’m suggesting you need to know your enemy, and be prepared to act accordingly. They’ll murder everyone sympathetic to leftism before they let socialism redistribute their wealth.

        Literally this lol, rip JFK. The problem is that the masses will never support a revolutionary uprising unless a peaceful one has been tried and beaten down.

        People often say like “You can’t just shoot trump, you’ll make him a martyr and hyper energize his base!” I don’t know if that’s true. I like to think that if Zohran was assassinated, people would push harder for his vision and legacy. But a lot of people are also kind of just… not all the way here.
