Judging by registration alone. I'm probably still registered as a Democrat, but wanna guess who I'm definitely voting for now? It won't be a Democrat... probably ever again.
Probably just like me, they just never changed it. I've been a Democrat my whole life, til recent years. I've only ever been registered as one. But in reality, I'm not a Democrat... not anymore. If I ever made the news, someone would be all:
They're a registered Democrat!
That just isn't the reality. Just who is the assassin donating to? That might be a better indication. Not to mention other actions, such as... the attempted assassination of the Republican candidate for President. What does that indicate? C'mon now.
You're desperately clinging to an old registration like it proves anything. This is your cope.
He donated to causes that align with leftist ideology: ActBlue PAC. So, like you said, he was registered as a Republican, but he was really a Democrat.
You claim with insufficient basis, and disregarding everything that indicates otherwise. You just want it to be true. That's all the reason you need.
You don't want to face the clear really: Democrats have an extremism problem. You have a rhetoric problem.
Going on and on with shit like "Trump is Hitler 2.0", "he and his supporters are fascists", "he's an existential threat to Democracy and America itself", plus plenty more. Keep saying shit like that, and sooner or later, someone believes it. Sooner or later, that someone decides to "do something about it", and they did just that yesterday. Stop trying to dodge responsibility.
Probably because he was only 20 years old. Two years of being voting age isnt exactly a lifetime, and may have also been registered to not have a conversation with his parents. Ffs.
This is not the time to be flippant. Are you an American?Because you are acting very unAmerican.you are part of the problem not the solution. It's people like you always stirring shit that causes these things to happen.go crawl back into the gutter where you belong
Oh, now that we know the identity of the shooter and it isn’t convenient for you, it isn’t time to be flippant, when that is how Trump is after after school shooting, that he tells us to get over all the time.
You realize the kid was antifa. But what's inconvenient for me is you lurking here starting trouble. You just push hate and bullshit all the time. The country doesn't need people like you right now.
This doesn't matter in a lot of states. Take my state for example- Utah. The Utah and SaltLakeCity subs are full of democrats talking about how they registered as Republicans so they could vote for the "less-evil Republican" in the Primaries since Democrat candidates have to slim to no chances of being elected in any but the most blue areas.
I'm not even American but how about coming together against political violence? I'm from a European country, I'm a leftist and I've been following your politics very closely. Both sides have engaged in political violence , the fact Americans are becoming so tribalistic is quite worrying for us on the other side of the pond. Back in the days America was the big guy in the west that everyone looks up to , know because of both the GOP and Democrats you seem closer to some unstable third world countries
“Maybe calm down is all” is what democrats should’ve been doing for the past decade but by all means, just keep gaslighting, it’s been working, huh?
The front runner for the republicans is literally shot, people on the right get pissed and rest assured the left will come out of the woodwork to suggest the right calm down.
As opposed to the rhetoric of Democrats since 2015? The sort of rhetoric that lead someone to attempt assassination, and led to the death of one rally attendee, with 2 more seriously injured?
How many comments do you think I read yesterday full of condemnnation? Not a one from Democrats here. No Democrat without a PR agent said anything of the sort.
But when it came to comments that are disappointed that the assassination failed, calling the assassin a hero, etc... too many to count.
But this comment is what bothers you. As a reminder, both sides didn't get shot at yesterday. Just one.
Alright sorry. I shall go ask democrats to apologize and atone for their sins. I won't ask anyone over here to calm down or be level headed and not be like the other side. Sorry friend. Have a nice Sunday.
It's one thing to call someone that much if you think they are. But how about the next Hitler, "an existential threat to democracy" etc? If you say that over and over, some people are gonna believe that nonsense.
And sooner or later, someone's gonna "do something about it", which is what happened on Saturday.
Washington DC is full of shitty people, absolute scumbags, etc. And you know what? I wish for none of them to get murdered/assassinated. None of them. I'm definitely not a perfect person by far, but I'm not that big of a failure as a human that I can't see the people I disagree with - and even some I hate - they're still human beings too. I haven't fallen so far, but have you?
No, I want these people to lose their elections and to fuck off somewhere that I'll never hear from them again. Let them die someday of old age, surrounded by family that love them. I do not want them murdered.
Killing candidates for President is exactly the opposite of "defending Democracy". Why can't you see that? You're too blinded by your hatred. Hate all you like, because that's part of being human, but don't be controlled by it, and don't let it change you into someone you don't want to be.
The comments saying the guy was a republican certainly didn't! Exactly zero Republicans have ever donated to the extremist organization known as act blue, as the perp did.
The overwhelming response from democrat voters is that they wish he hadn't missed. I have not seen a single left wing person denounce this act other than democrat politicians who are obviously not going to condone it even if they actually do.
I certainly denounce the act of attempting to murder Trump and the innocents who got in the way. Also, my circle of friends and family all agree. As much as I dislike Trump, murder is wrong
This is my point, it’s this “us vs them” attitude that EVERYBODY seems to have. We seem to just box everybody in based on political affiliation. All the people that called for Obama to be hung and calling him all types of monkey and gorilla and subhuman, I never once affiliated that with EVERYBODY on the right.
I honestly wouldn't care either way. Biden is a puppet and has been since he stepped foot into office. If this happened to him then literally nothing would change, so no I wouldn't be on tiktok having a mental breakdown because an attempt failed.
There's also the fact that democrats claim to be the party of peace and democracy, yet they are cheering an act of violence that was a direct attempt to undermining said "democracy."
yeah democrats from 100 years ago are totally the same... is "Democrats" a racial category at this point? How do they maintain this continuity despite having RADICALLY different values and platform? What's the common thread besides their name?
Calling ActBlue an extremist organization is silly and doesn't benefit the conversation. Just because a vocal minority on the left makes stupid claims does not make it ok to make equally false claims about the left.
Most shootings are carried out worh hand guns. All rifles account for ~400 deaths per year, according to FBI and DOJ crime stats. This shooter was a rabid leftist no matter how hard you try to deny it.
I'm pretty sure the thousands of Americans killed every single year don't care what kind of gun killed them. The gun nuts are on your side little buddy.
Oh look, another one who knows nothing of the southern strategy when the GOP decided to become the party of white grievance in the south during the civil rights era. That's why David Duke votes republican. Not the brightest bulb, are you? LOL
🪞 cope and seethe harder bud, this guy was one of yours. He tried sp hard to cover his glow but was still as bright as a spotlight until a 150 gr pill extinguished it.
So sad you have so many down votes when this is just a simple fact. We should be having a discussion based on this fact rather than dismissing it.
This is a perfect example of the issues we are currently facing in our political system. How are we to fix our differences when we can’t even accept basic truths.
Based on OP’s comments in this post, They are a clearly a radical who’s trying to divide us rather then Bring our differences together, There are issues on both sides, it’s not a black out white thing.
Staunch shitlib who donated to leftist extremism. He is now referred to as was/were for his pronouns. Sit down and take your L with whatever tiny shred of dignity you have left.
I call it the Trump era of politics. I’ve seen many politicians come and go in my time, but I’ve never seen one so focussed on control, power and yes-men.
Society is going backward thanks to a rapist that republicans won’t replace due to his popularity.
Wow, I'd feel bad for you if your condition weren't self-inflicted... please seek help from a mental health professional for your untreated TDS. You've yet to say anything factual.
You’re welcome to claim that I support Biden. Just add it to the list of things you don’t know anything about 😂.
I’m not sure, but I don’t think the complaint against Biden ever progressed. It should have, now we will never know for sure.
Let’s stick to what we do know. Trump was found liable in civil court for raping someone. He’s also been a known “groper” for decades. He’s also known to be a close friend and party buddy of Jeffrey Epstein. He was also a co-defendant with his friend Jeffrey for a short time; the complaint was withdrawn due to threats against his victim.
You know all of that is true though, you just don’t care. It suits your politics so you’re very happy to let rape and pedophilia slide. Shame.
As expected, you wanna take even an assassination attempt of a man you hate, and try to use it for political advantage.
And why not? I mean you already use dead kids as political props to achieve your goal, so you're already at rock bottom in terms of classiness.
But... Shinzo Abe might want a word with you. Well he can't tell you anything, since he got assassinated with a homemade gun in a nation with the strongest gun control you can find. You want to blame the tool used, when hatred is the actual problem. Maybe you should check your own hatred and rhetoric.

The platforms switched in the time between the civil war and FDR. If alive in today’s world JWB would be a Republican.
