Jesus Christ no wonder American is is the dam shape it’s in because of bullshit like this. The political IQ of a four year old
And the effect of media bubbles. Including self-selected ones, not just algorithm driven bubbles.
The plurality of voters this last election voted for greed and selfishness as celebrated norms. Over a third of voters said they didn’t care. Of the remainder, a significant percentage of them are obsessed with civility and the proper way of doing things.
Laughing about capitalist cunts getting their just desserts is funny, but not as popular in touch-grassville as it is on Lemmy, and public figures have to deal with that fact
Yes, the pundits are saying DISCLAIMER: Shooting is bad. Murder is bad before they talk about how the healthcare service executive really had it coming.
And that’s coming from the liberals, not us radical left pinko-commies who have Bolshevik choruses back us up when we talk.
Worst part is, touch-grassvile itself is still fucking absurd. They’re out there touching the grass and blaming their heavy breathing on grass allergies, while us shut-ins are noting the coal plant two miles upwind of the town that’s caused a drastic uptick in asthma attacks.
But the vast majority of people are normals who are out there fucking with the grass and asspatting each other for being so in-touch with their surroundings, and we have to deal with that.
Personally, if I were in the position, I’d say something like: “It is a tragedy that a murder happened. No one should ever feel like murder is the only chance at justice.” Maybe expand on it a bit and add a link to a bill proposed to either fix the justice system to not favor the rich, a bill that forces health insurance companies to do a better job and not be as greedy, or, even better, a bill that provides Medicare for all.
Something along the lines of “Murder is wrong but also this man’s policies at his company led to a third of people’s claims being denied and 22 billion dollars just last year being taken as profit off people actively having their healthcare denied and maybe, just maybe, we should do something about that.”
I want him to bring up jury nullification. I want him to randomly list countries with no extradition treaty. I want him to post the names and addresses of more health insurance CEOs.
I thought these M O T H E R F U C K E R S were supposed to be “representatives”.
Genuinely confused by the responses here. Like what do you want him to say? Because no politician is going to come out and say “Yay Assassinations”.

He didn’t need to say jack shit.

Nothing. Nothing would be perfectly acceptable. See: https://lemmy.cafe/post/10402549/8792150
Edit: Also, a mitigating alternative I would accept would at the very least not laud the “business and healthcare community.”

yeah that’s a bit wild and out there but i appreciate you letting us know lol
Option 1: say nothing. A lot of politicians did this.
Option 2: be vague. We saw a lot of this BS during the pandemic to somewhat appear like you carr. “We are in trying times.”
Option 3: not include the “a terrible loss for the business and health care communities”. So he is rubbing shoulders.
That’s 3 options right there. Am I’m not even a political strategist.
