The only person on your list anyone should listen to is Bernie, and the dems shoved him in the background in favor of Clinton, whom no one even likes or respects. Biden is also a senile, ancient ruling class ghoul that’s been spearheading a genocide for years, within a party that has abandoned its constituents, including the trans community.

We consider him a folk hero because we’ve spent years of our lives voting and screaming into the void to a political party that is the equivalent of an unsalted saltine cracker, and does nothing but let the fascists run wild so they can maintain their status quo (It’s also the party that just rejected AOC in favor of an old man dying from cancer). He killed a CEO of an industry that has fucked over literally everyone in America at some point or another—myself included—and denies coverage for medications that often results in death. It’s an industry that makes money when people die. If you think anyone is going to feel sorry for Brian Thompson, there’s like a million people that will disagree.

I never suggested anybody should feel sorry for Brian Thompson lmao what are you on? Brian is dead. This is about Luigi. People who break the laws need to go to trial.

Oh he will. He knew what he was getting into. The terrorism charge is a bit much, but clearly for show. I don’t think anyone expected him not to be charged.

The terrorism charge is because it's a requirement for First Degree Murder charges in the State of New York. It wouldn't be there if the crime was in different state.

I read somewhere that writing a manifesto factors in as well.

I've seen the manifesto, in it he apologizes to the police but thought it had to be done.

He neither expressed desire for political outcome nor claimed politics as his motivation.

It was about how predatory and evil the healthcare industry is.

Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it.

Also the shortest manifesto ever.

But he didn't outline any changes he wanted to happen other than killing a couple of people for being greedy. For all we know he's a pure privatization advocate and thinks it's the citizens responsibility to police it themselves.
