Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Actual quote. A terrible loss "for the healthcare community", not a loss for his kids though interestingly enough.
First Walz L Ive seen. SAD!
No Democrat is going to endorse or sanction a murder. If you don't believe in the death penalty, you can't defend this guy's murder, and politicians are supposed to sound all responsible-like.
It's not an internally consistent position, but my morality doesn't have to be strictly defined and codified into laws. Someone responsible for making laws kinda has to do their best at advocating that those laws represent absolutely morality.
We here are under no such expectations. You should never assault someone, but if that someone is a Nazi I'm buying you a beer. If someone murders a CEO responsible for death and misery, murder is still wrong, but perhaps less wrong than in other cases. I'm not losing sleep.
Walz could have just said "tragic loss of human life" and not try to get sympathy for the healthcare industry.
Why I'm a utilitarian. Morals need to be a little flexible to be able to account for all situations. I believe in the greater good.
