    these crusty old farts need to retire. their dumbass voters keep reelecting them so it looks like it will take retirement or death to get rid of them.

        yes, well, I was thinking more along the lines of a natural death due to their advanced age and probable health conditions. It’s not really a longshot to say some of those octagenarians may not have a whole lot of time left.

        There is no way this could go down that would not immediately get turned into either a new theory or used as evidence of a theory already in existence.

        So your answer is to call for them to die. Tell me how that makes you better than them lmao fucking moron! Good to know you have zero concept of how decent people get the way these folks are today. All these shitty little justifications like yours, which compound until you are fine with large swaths of folks unlike you dying to get what you want.


        be better. you are capable of it.

          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.

        A David Carradine type death would also work. Found with a nose full of blow, a belt around their neck, and their pecker in their hand.
