    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.

      They’ll probably sink so low as to assange him, ie fake rape allegations. Just watch.

      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.

        Murder is so gauche in our era of media manipulation and attention nano-spans.

        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.

            It is certainly better than doing nothing. But be prepared for establishment ghouls siding with Republicans more openly to suddenly get “stuff zone”.

        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.

          Trumps following is quite cult-like, so there’s a chance. But I think it’s very likely that, even if they continue to idolize trump, the movement will be extremely split instead of rallying behind one person.

          I’m honestly kinda surprised no one has tried again, take some inspiration from ukraine and it seems very hard for him to actually be safe from attempts.

            Psychpath and nrcissist are both slurs. They’re not in the DSM, they’re shorthands for stigmatised disorders.

              This may be one of the strangest takes I’ve heard online.

              Narcissism is not a slur. Being a narcissist is not just being self-centred, or being predisposed to not empathise as much with others.

              It’s a label placed on those who are self-centred, and unempathetic to others who have the ability to do so. They are negligent.

              No one (reasonable) is out here claiming self-centred behaviours from someone who has a disorder is being a narcissist.

              Narcissist is not a slur.

              Psychopath? I dunno. Still, who the hell are you being offended on behalf of? Who is out there being offended by either of these words? No one, no one identifies with either of these words, because they carry implications of intent.

                So, are you one of the people who thinks we call selfish people n*rcissists because it’s a mental disorder and using mental health terms to insult people is groovy? Or are you one of the people who thinks we do it because that 16 year old from the Greek myth who didn’t want to date anyone was an arrogant git and deserved to die for selfishly keeping his body from the world?

                Because those are the only two options. Either the word comes from the mental disorder, or from the pedophile myth. And they both suck.

                  Are you aware that meanings of words, and how they’re used, change?

      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.

      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.

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

    Very obvious war crimes and ethnic cleansing

      Capitalism is amoral, meaning it can lead to some real immoral behaviour when monied interests want it that way. It can be wielded to contend with the will of the people, making it a potential enemy to democracy.

      The intermediary is supposed to be government. Supposed to be…
