    If you become a Luigi Mangione you can never become a Bernie Sanders. Mutual exclusivity. Even if you become a political icon it will always be clear that you prefer the path of violence over all other action.

      Yeah, I can’t be both, what’s your point? One person isn’t a movement.

        Thats the same as saying tens of millions of people who voted for Donald Trump are not responsible for Donald Trump.

        You are responsible for your actions and the words you speak, here or anywhere else, hold meaning.

          What are you saying? That tacit approval of the actions of Luigi hurts the universal healthcare movement similarly to a vote for Donald Trump? Do you have any evidence that the shooting took any wind out of Bernie’s sails at all?

              Then I am once again asking, how has Luigi Mangione hurt the universal healthcare movement? Where’s the “evil”? You’ve been squirming around the question like a rotten politician this entire thread. If you say that killing a mass-killer who otherwise wouldn’t have seen justice is evil, then fine, that’s a matter of morality and we’ll just have to disagree; we can end the conversation there. But if you claim that Luigi hurt the universal healthcare movement somehow, outweighing the attention he brought to it, then please, show me some evidence. I can’t take you seriously if all you’ve got is vibes.

                I haven’t squirmed one bit but if you think I’m going to play whackamole as you sealion the same question I already answered over and over then you’re just dumb.

                Luigi worshippers don’t want people participating in democratic actions, do not want people to become like Bernie Sanders. They want more violence. They are mutually exclusive political ideologies, if you promote both then you’re working against yourself.

                  Yes yes, so you’ve stated, source: “FiniteBanjo”. “These are the dots” you say, but you refuse to draw the line between them. I’ll tell you now, there is none. Bernie’s faced a lot of obstacles in his decades fighting the good fight, but Luigi ain’t one of them, not in the first 100, not in the first 1000. At least Luigi tried something (ya know, allegedly) and got more people talking about this. It’s not what I would’ve done, but I don’t blame him, in fact I won’t. You’re fighting the wrong front here. Have a good night.
