Hmm, yes, it's almost as if we have a government that isn't functioning and there seem to be no options that are legal under the current government...

Unfortunately, he's not up for reelection until 2028, at which time he'd be 78 years old, so probably wouldn't be running anyway.

They are DEFINITELY controlled opposition.

No, Dems are pissed at him, and at the Congressional Dems who supported him. You just can't understand that Schumer and those elected Dems are not the majority of the Dems. They're just the people in power.

Most of us are NOT okay with this.

The government created media infrastructure to isolate people from each other so most of us would not find out. It's like the Matrix.

A lot of us know and are trying to do things about it.

I'm not saying that anyone should stop supporting him.

I am saying that if the end goal is to communicate messages of support for the types of things he did, it would likely make more sense to post pictures that couldn't be easily filtered.

Groups of teens would get a message across("guillotines") but would be difficult to filter effectively.

Pictures of one particular character are a lot easier to block.

Filtering systems can effectively block 100% of pictures of Luigi Mangione and of the character Luigi, but if people just posted picture after picture of groups of teenagers, that would be a lot harder to effectively filter.

"Multiband GNSS" is what this is called.

I think it's interesting people keep posting things about this particular person when it's likely to be filtered in all kiinds of media.

Not that I'm advocating for violence, but man, it seems like the people doing this would get their point across a lot more easily by posting pictures of groups of teens.

His goal wasn't to make sure the CEO of United Healthcare stopped harming people.

His goal was to make sure Brian Thompson stopped harming people.

Yeah, we all know nothing in 2025 will ever be as consequential as what happened in 2023.
