I will continue to be a good moral person and anybody who advocates otherwise can suck my balls.
Gets their panties in a twist over how other people spend their money to help out a guy who took a social murdering parasite out
Says the dude getting pissed because I pointed out their impotent rage contributes to corporate profits.
Why are you so focused on sucking Brian Thompson's balls? It's weird especially because he's dead and the world is better off for it.
Brian Thompson's gone. I've never defended them. You're projecting by saying I'm the one fixated on a corpse's dick.
Wow you actually got the joke. Thanks for explaining it lol. Moron
Maybe we could source the blue-shelling of CEOs and when good people inevitably end up in the clink they could be welcomed as oppressed comrades and freedom fighters.
An argument could be made that his actions are drawing attention to the Healthcare crisis and are worth millions in donations to any single facility.
We all have opinions.
His actions made no impact, so far. Are you expecting the more than half of Americans who voted for Trump and other Republicans to suddenly change their political identity?
And you're not supporting his cause if you send money to his commissary, you're supporting the private prison system.
It's literally global news, CEO's have been pied in the face, which while tangentially related is another reminder. Policeman forces and corporations are "cooperating for added security" and whatnot bullshit.
Like arguing that Rosa Parks taking a stance had no effect. It took almost a year for there to even be a decision of any sort, as the case got bogged down in the courts.
The prosecution is already having issues with jury selection. It's only been a few weeks since the assasination.
It's beyond ridiculous to say what he did hasn't had an effect.
The pie in the face is a self imposed publicity stunt, but another dude murdered their boss the other day who’s a military contractor.
Yea actually that was new to me but since I bought it and associated it, I'm sure someone else will too. Especially because scared people aren't rational people.
I'd have to read the details so I'm gonna say these with the condition that I can take it back: "Nice"
Yeah I’m not sure if it was politically inspired or a personal vendetta. Dude ~~killed~~ stabbed the CEO of the company he worked for though. Guess he wasn’t a fan of his Christmas bonus?
https://nypost.com/2024/12/19/business/michigan-company-boss-stabbed-by-employee-in-possible-copycat-crime/
Also I got it wrong, he didn’t kill him, he tried to but the CEO lived.
I wonder if he was of Scottish heritage.
Give me a quid, or yer gettin' stabbed.
That CEO in Europe pied himself in the face.
I guess one outcome that did come from it is that some guy in Michigan stabbed his supervisor in the neck trying to emulate Luigi.
This is incorrect, we're all talking about it so it's brought the conversation to the forefront if nothing else.
More than half of Americans didn't vote for trump, roughly 1/3 did.
Republican don't have a political identity to speak of except "No!" see also: Their current inability to even pass a budget they wrote.
He's being held at the Metro Detention Center in Brooklyn, it's not a private prison.
You're so bad at this you have to be a troll, and not even a good one, sad.
More than 50% of people who voted, voted for Trump. You know that, don't be disingenuous like that.
The Commissary is run by a third party company, not a public office.
Go cry to the democrats for running a shit candidate
Booohoooo Wah Wah WAh
Except I don't feel an ounce of empathy for stupid assholes who allow Republicans to take control and throw a violent and deadly tantrum as a result.
Democrats only have themselves to blame for the loss. Keep crying.
You're really owning the libs.
They owned themselves when they allowed biden to run for a second term and then realized they fucked up and decided to run Kamala instead of you know… democratically holding a primary.
For a party that loves to pretend they care about “saving democracy” (whatever the fuck that means) they sure suck at practicing it.
Oh no! Oh ouchie wowchie the man who won the primary and presidency got to be an incumbent, in light of this aggression we better let millions of people suffer to prove our point. /s
WHAT PRIMARY?!
In 2020 Joe Biden recieved 19,080,502 votes, second place was Bernie Sanders with 9,680,424 votes.
The "primary and presidency got to be an incumbent," were listed in chronological order.
And I’m talking about 2024… WHAT PRIMARY? are you liberals capable of any self reflection? Are you really this obtuse? You really can’t figure it out? The democrats lost in a landslide - they lost the electoral college and the popular vote, they lost the senate and the house, and they lost a bunch of state government positions as well. The liberals owned themselves when they allowed biden to seek a second term. That was the day they lost the election, and the only chance they had at winning was by holding a real primary and even when biden was arguably forced off the ticket by a palace coup instead of holding a primary they - in the back rooms of course - coronated Kamala Harris despite not winning a single vote for the position.
And unrelated to my initial point but since you bring it up, 2016 was fucking electoral fraud from the DNC.
Incumbent Presidents never have a "fair primary." Never in two hundred and fifty years. If you think the DNC committed fraud to change the results of 30 Million Votes, with a difference of 3.7 Million votes then that should be super easy to prove and get convictions for. Maybe 2 people can keep a secret but not 2 Million.
I remind you that they tried to convict Hillary for keeping an email server in her closet instead of at her office. She wasn't too powerful to take down.
You’re such a fucking democrat shill it’s so fucking pathetic. I’m enjoying the liberal tears and screeching about how unfair it is that people wouldn’t vote for their shitty ass half dead corpse nor their shitty ass coronated identity politics candidate that nobody fucking voted for not even in the 2016 primary when she ran against biden before becoming VP.
Get this through your thick fucking skull: BIDEN SHOULD OF NEVER RAN FOR A SECOND TERM AND IN FACT PROMISED FOR HIS FIRST TERM HED BE A ONE TERM PRESIDENT. the democrats should of held a real primary and fucking refused to. Because they DO NOT CARE about “saving democracy” they don’t care about democracy or America all they care about is enriching their owners. They play pretend that they’re so progressive when they’re full of fucking shit and fools like you eat it up hook line and sinker it’s so fucking sad and pathetic. You’re a clown.
Yeah I'm shilling for good things to happen for hundreds of millions of people, for the betterment of us all.
Sue me.
Oh yeah after the DNC threw their weight around to get everybody to drop out of the race and endorse Biden, that was definitely a real and fully representative primary.
Even after dropping out in april and endorsing Biden, Bernie still got more than half of Biden's 19 million votes, comparatively, and even won several states. If the Democrats wanted to win more than anything else, that was their guy, and they willingly threw that advantage away. That should tell you something!!
Oh gosh oh geez the DNC "threw their weight" and that made 10 Million More People choose Biden over Bernie in the sanders. The powerful, unstoppable, crushing, figuratively speaking weight. That weight. You know the weight.
Yeah buddy when everyone drops out of a primary just before the actual vote and tells their voters to vote for Biden, that's definitely something that just naturally happens on its own and doesn't completely defeat the purpose of running in a primary.
There's actual documentation on this and actions threatened by the DNC like cutting them out of debates but I don't even have to point to it to show you how silly you're being, this is just a silly thing to argue just on the face of it.
I mean you probably have such a good understanding of spoiler candidates. What happens when a bunch of people who would have voted for many candidates all pool their votes for one candidate? For a guy who wasn't even running on the day of the vote to get half as many votes as the only guy actually in the race is pretty indicative of his popularity
Bernie fucking Sanders, not even part of the DNC, was second place with a 10 Million Vote difference. The DNC doesn't make Biden win by having people drop out in that context.
That's the one agreeable thing you've said in this thread
It's funny because it's just mask off conservatism. That's a Republican slogan.
You act like liberalism being the furthest left you can reasonably go doesn't directly benefit the Republicans and even worse, you seem to think it isn't also a conservative ideology. How quaint.
Liberals don't vote Republican because Republicans restrict rights and freedoms, thereby being ideologically opposed to Liberalism.
Liberals in the USA either vote for Democrats or they're confused.
lol. I write:
You read:
You are not a serious person, you do not know what liberalism is, and your reading comprehension needs some work. Not to fret, however! I know just the way to practice!
Right sorry, I forgot you lived in Bizzaro world where voting against Republicans directly benefits them. MB.
