I really don’t understand why the Dems are propping up an objectively horrible person.
I get why the pedo party is of course
Because they are cucks. They like to watch our country get f***ed.
Why don’t we have Melissa Hortman rememberance day? She was actually a politician.
They ask more of people’s ignorance than they do of their virtue.
Performative civility. The dems would hold a vigil for Hitler if their consultants said it would appeal to uncommitted moderate voters.
And I don’t understand why they would choose October 14th, which is George Floyd’s birthday.edit: Apparently it’s his birthday as well.
Just refuse to acknowledge Carotid Artery Charlie and hijack that shit right back:
Because it’s a chance to tacitly insult the late George Floyd, his family and friends, all his supporters, the ‘other team’, and the entire anti-racism movement that has pissed them off so much. They’re not going to pass up an opportunity like that.
Early christians decided to make Xmas in December to align with when pagans were celebrating winter solstice, in order to appropriate the holiday for themselves.
Not saying that’s entirely the reason, but it sure is convenient for them to add their noise.
It’s also Charlie Kirk’s birthday, just 20 years later
It’s because the democratic party at large is a fascist-lite party, so they have little qualms about honoring full blown fascists. That and they love nothing more than propping up the idea that we need to keep decorum up at all times.
They also operate under the absurd notion that they can sway Republican voters if they keep moving to the right.
Not shooting your political opponents isn’t just “decorum.”
Where was the “decorum” for Melissa Hortman?
Honoring a guy who openly wanted genocide in Gaza and wanted to have trans people at home killed also isn’t “decorum” but I guess that’s too complex for you to understand
it’s all in the article but i guess that’s “too complex for you to read?”
I don’t understand how that’s a counter to his point. Can you explain?
Which party member shot Charlie Kirk?
I can’t believe that it’s so hard for people to believe that someone who made a career being a hate monger was murdered for it.
The kid who killed him was not a politician, he didn’t even vote. He was in a relationship with someone who belonged to a group that Kirk made money on by saying heinous shit about constantly.
Is there proof he was had a trans girlfriend? I find it hard to believe with everything else coming out about him.
Something something decorum.
Fear. That’s why. The right is so unhinged that they fear for their lives.
Not that they are going to be safe anyways.
I’m not a fan of the Democrats, except that they are the major opposition to the Republicans.
But if you actually want an answer why a theoretical good and honest politician might do something like this, it could be agreements behind the scenes.
If you could get Republicans to stop cutting the ACA subsidies, and the trade-off was something not tangible, like having a day of remembrance for a bad person, you might do it just to save lives.
It is a minority politician’s job to make deals if it furthers their agenda. Obviously, I don’t know if this is what happened here, but it’s theoretically possible.
I sure hope so. Otherwise they are legitimizing a monster for nothing.
