This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

      No it isn’t. Neither major party has used their power to fix this system. Both have had ample opportunity in the many past decades.

      Due to the dominance of the FPTP system’s spoiler effect and of the two-party system, we can’t reasonably expect a mass shift to third parties. Therefore, of the two viable parties, neither will change the system. No realistic voting behavior indicates support of the broken system - if anything the lowering voter turnout is a general indication that they don’t support the system.

                    That’s not even true. lmao And also goes completely against your previous narrative of the Biden “regime”. Do you have people winning elections nor or a dictatorship? At least be consistent in your propaganda bullshit.

                    Sure they do. Democrats go full mask off and cozy up with war criminals, going hard right instead of center right; billionaires and corporations get richer, more people feed the machine. This guy decided to be the change he wanted see. Is murder wrong? Yes. Especially when it’s millions for the sake of profit.

                    where on the day of the election people were looking up whether Biden was still in the race

                    Yeah, but it totally isn’t the voters fault. lmao Idiocracy is now. Fucking Redneckistans. If you weren’t dooming the whole world I would not even care, but here we are.
