Shouts of “he should be shot” could be heard multiple times Thursday night at the Republican midterm convention as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was criticizing prominent Democratic politicians by name.
Are people on lemmy democratic leaders or speakers at democratic conventions? Or are you 100% full of shit and trying to move the goalposts in the most obvious way possible?
It really isn’t. Your comparing mainstream members to randoms on the Internet. At best you’re being disengenous, if not outright lying to make a point.
Any idiot can say whatever dumb shit they want on the internet (as evidenced by the conversation above), but you can’t honestly say both sides are advocating for this at the party level.
Well, not without being a liar, anyway. That never stops the right and idiot centrists from crying BoTh SiDeS to things that are demonstratably coming from the right primarily.
I’m copying from another comment so I don’t have to type it again:
“The politics here are just as real as they are there. What do you think emboldened conservative leaders to spout shit like this in the first place? It’s the fact that their base supports it, and the calls for violence here on Lemmy are no different, except that we’re sympathetic to the reasons.”
Nope, you’re conflating party level advocacy with randos on the internet, and it’s a bullshit comparison. And this advocacy has come from the party leadership for decades.
One party is OPENLY KIRKING PEOPLE IN THE STREET and there’s no pushback at the party level on one side, but plenty on the other.
Your argument is the most hollow both sides bullshit.
Ok bud, enjoy that hypocrisy and moral superiority, and tell yourself you were right all along as you continue to contribute to burning everything down.
I will, as long as my enemy burns with it. Conservatives have already sentenced our planet to death. I will do everything in my power to make it hurt conservatives as much as possible. We are enemies, just as you insist. Get off our planet.
All i know is: If they’re coming at me with guns, I’m fighting back with guns. I don’t have to feel guilty because they started it and I don’t have to die to “preserve civility and norms”.
I don’t think you’re being genuine. You can always find people online saying ridiculous shit. You can’t control that. But when it enters the sphere of “real politics” it needs to be shutdown. I hate the guy, but even Charlie Kirk could do this. It’s a very low bar but I’m not surprised the spineless shitsack Cruz couldn’t clear it.

Conservatives decided that normal people are their enemy and need to be oppressed to death. We turned the other cheek for decades. You can’t act all butt-hurt that we finally agree with you that we are enemies.
Of course I want my enemies to die. You taught me this role and insist I play it. So, now I’m playing it. Stop crying about it and get off our planet.
You have my axe. Conservatives have been waging a shadow American Civil War upon us. It is time to recognize that, and start throwing hands against these bastards.
We didn’t start the fight, but we should be the only ones who get to live after it.
Sometimes down votes just mean you’re wrong, you know?
So they’re wrong that here on Lemmy people call for the deaths of Republicans literally every single day?

Ooh ooh ooh, I know this one!
It’s a false dichotomy!

They are you just choose not to see it.

That last one is my favorite it talks about dog whistles on the democratic side.
My point has been consistent. Both sides suck both parties suck
Nazis and genociders suck. Fuck you for defending them, stupid-ass nazi.
What Democratic politician has called for killing Republicans?
Just gonna repeat the first comment I made in this thread, it’s still just as accurate:
Wow, you’ve really convinced me with all of the sources for your totally real and not baseless claim!

Yeah, I’m a hypocrite for not letting you peddle bullshit about both parties advocating for violence at the party level, which is the original point.

Said everyone on all sides to justify their violence.
Can the idea that one side isn’t lying possibly penetrate your thick skull?
How did the conflict start?
Holy shit you suck.
You are a liar and you defend nazis, making you a nazi. Get off our planet.
You are lying. As usual.

Oh cool, I see you’re arguing just to argue. Bye.
Nah, this time you’re just wrong, you know?
Which you have been this whole thread and yet you’re still here.
Said the nazi liar. 🤣
