    This is a pretty simplistic take. The thing is, Republicans enact policies that kill or ruin the lives of MANY people. If one of them dies, I fail to see how that doesn’t leave the world a better place.

    The comment you replied to was specifically hoping for a natural death. Nobody here is suggesting lynching politicians, that’s the behavior of the right wing (jan 6, etc)

    Your comment reads as typical “both sides” bullshit, with a bit of slippery slope fallacy thrown in.

      First of all, the comment said they need to die, rather than retire. That’s a barbaric sentiment.

      His comment reads like a person who understands that the blame doesn’t lie with the individuals who are born into and perpetuate this system, but rather with the system itself. Replacing a Republican with a Democrat is like shining a turd.

      I hope you remember that every one of us is human, as unbelievable as that seems. We are all absurd characters in the lens of history, dancing while the world burns.
