WTF are you doing, politico? A „u-turn“?
Did the democrats condone political violence before and have only now changed their mind?
People keep blaming right-wing #media for the „division“, but I sometimes think the mainstream #press is equally responsible.

@fleg Isn't a democracy obliged to eliminate elements that want to destroy democracy? You can argue that this is not allowed, but the person who cuts the legs of the democracy chair is eliminating democracy. So political murders are part of it. #democracy #USelections2024 #JFK #RobbertKennedy both democrats

@osiris_0x7A4 You lost me at „eliminate elements“. Fighting for democracy includes using non violent speech

@fleg Of course that is the ideal but democracy will lose because the other side doesn’t condemns violence (remember 6 of januari) Democracy is no pacifist. What will happen when #Trump dismantle every democratic item. Will you stand by and watch, do nothing? I hope not.
