    “We need the conservatives to keep the conservatives in check!”

    This country needs political literacy and situational understanding, there aren’t two parties.

        What they meant is that, for the working class, both parties are effectively the same. They both represent the rich, albeit different subsections with slightly differing interests. Sometimes the rich assassinate the rich because some of the rich got in the way of other rich people. They have as much infighting as the left sometimes tbh. Regardless of that though they are both capitalist parties who primarily secure the interests of capitalists. They are the same in that neither of them give a shit about you other than what you can do for them. Which is to say, the illusion of political legitimacy and the wealth you create for them.

          What they meant is that they’re totally fucking ignorant of the party, ideology, and policy positions of the politician who was assassinated. Get a goddamn clue!

            Democrats are the party of false platitudes and endless slaughter with a happy face. Their policy is to tell everyone that things are okay while we suffer and die for their profits. I don’t give a shit about the individual politician. They serve the same purpose, and thats keep you stuck in the delusion that they serve you. You will not be handed any choices that matter.

              The Democratic politician we’re talking about IS DEAD BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY WALKED THE WALK. Go fuck yourself and quit slandering her!

                Don’t even know her name or what she stood for because it doesn’t matter. I wasn’t slandering her because I was barely even talking about her

                  Then you’re fucking illiterate because I was talking about her and you were replying to me. And that’s on top of being a hateful, lying, piece of shit.

                  You are not entitled to spread hate and disinformation. Go fuck every part of yourself with a rusty sickle.

          Absolutely fucking not! The Republican Party does not get to distance themselves from the assassin; they absolutely own the behavior they incited!

          I don’t give a fuck if the guy held office or not; he was 100% representative of the Party.
