[Mr. Ected]

10. I think we're better than this

I think all of the people who've been named deserve our disdain and our forceful opposition.

But being so callous-hearted is beneath us.

Tucker Carlson.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. My List Would Be Too Long

I don't have 18 hours to type it out.

[dalton99a]

16. No objections if all the above-mentioned get the worst painful disease known to science

[Yandex]

17. I wholeheartedly reject this position n/t

[634-5789]

18. All of the above and.......others.

[tritsofme]

19. This is fucking disgusting. Be a better human.

[hlthe2b]

41. I would agree totally if the question had been "who do you wish to suffer" and not who would you not

shed tears over. So, in your need to be "better than all the rest of DUers on this thread," can you HONESTLY say you'd shed tears for those indicated and who you don't know. Literally?

Sorry, this is unearned sanctimony.

[BlackSkimmer]

48. Being on a ventilator is suffering.

Without a doubt.

[hlthe2b]

50. NO ONE here WISHED that to happen. The question was "would you shed tears" and no, YOU could never

convince me that YOU would shed tears for someone you don't know, have no relationship with nor any one-on-one interaction. So, your misrepresenting what those here are responding to is putting YOUR spin on it and it is disingenuous and inflammatory.

[BlackSkimmer]

54. Where did I say I'd shed tears?

Care to point me to where I said that? Nah, you can’t.

Talk about putting words in someone’s mouth lol.

[nolabear]

20. I hate these kinds of things. I will not be like that.

Would I cry? No, likely not. But I’d feel sympathy for suffering, even if it would cause others not to suffer. I just cannot celebrate another’s agony.

[hlthe2b]

42. Thanks for being honest and not conflating what was actually ASKED (tears) versus a desire for harm

to come to these individuals.

No one here trying to suggest they are better than some other DUers can convince me that in all honesty they would SHED Literal tears for these strangers whose names and actions are known and THAT was the question asked.

Despite some posts alleging the contrary, I have NEVER seen a thread advocating HARM come to even the most amoral of our opponents on DU. If they existed, my guess is that they were promptly removed by alert and disgusted jury.

[BlackSkimmer]

49. Wow, you've missed some threads!

I remember posts calling for “harm” against Bush, Cheney, tfg, and more than I can name.

[hlthe2b]

51. Again, disingenuous. No one here on this thread has done that.

the poster to which I was responding gave an honest appraisal without inserting their own words on those of others. I'd suggest you learn to do the same.

[BlackSkimmer]

53. Lol, when I have the time I might link you to some of those threads.

But there are many. Disingenuous indeed! The irony.

[nolabear]

55. I think that's true. And online threats are beyond stupid.

I don’t delude myself that the world is watching DU, but I know for sure we are watched by many.

[Deuxcents]

22. Do unto others..

They don’t care.. neither do I

[kabelad]

23. Wow. Just wow

So remember the next time you guys call conservatives fascists just who is making lists of people they want to suffer or die. I don’t know how you could call yourself liberal or progressive, this much hate toward any other human isn’t healthy. I don’t want to see any human suffer, and I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be judge jury and executioner on someone just because I disagreed with their politics. Sometimes things like this embarrass me and make me realize why the democratic measage doesn’t sit well, it’s backed by venomous garbage like this. I’d like to think we believe in democracy myself, I fought to defend it, and last time I checked, we don’t figuratively poison political opposition, we vote them out. To wish harm on others for their political beliefs just seems wrong…

[I_UndergroundPanther]

27. I save my compassion for liberals,progressives

Kids ,black,brown,gblt,women,
Journalists who have the courage to speak truth to power,native americans,all animals especially cats,they are my heart, people who are not bullies,the rare good cop, disenfranchised people,the poor .

But for republicans and others listed below and in my other reply ,I shed no tears over thier misfortune. Some people deserve to be cared about because they are not toxic violent selfish bullies.
You cant love away narcissism,sociopathy or authoritarianism.

These people ruin everything they touch.

And no I am not seething 24-7 over it. Its just my way of dealing with the very real situation we are in regarding fascism.

I hate some people for very good reasons,to lie about it and say I care about them would be a hypocritical crazy making
Self destructive thing.

Everyone deals with this different ways.

And your way might be good for you and people like you.

Its not healthy for others who have lived through awful abuse,I refuse to love which causes my misery and destroys my life and my country.

[kabelad]

39. People like you

Interesting term, “people like you”. I’m just a person like everyone else. You don’t have to care for everyone but you don’t have to hate a whole group of people because of a few bad apples. There are bad apples in every group. Bigotry is an ugly thing, regardless of which side it comes from.

[durablend]

47. "A few" bad apples

74 million people isn't "a few"

[I_UndergroundPanther]

67. Thank you.

The right wing earned my disdain for them.

[BlackSkimmer]

52. Sadly, I remember you calling for abuse of insurrectionists in prison.

I despise those people but would never condone, much less wish for, abuse in prison.

[pwb]

32. It is wrong for us you say?

It is wrong for them I say. We are not better than that anymore. They go there so?

[cadoman]

36. exactly, they were extended our compassion and threw it aside

Don't cast pearls before swine, or conservatives.

If they want to rejoin humanity the first steps are get vaccinated, mask up, and apologize. Any order is acceptable.

[Crunchy Frog]

34. Wishing to destroy democracy and replace it with autocratic rule

is not "different political beliefs".

And people venting their frustrations on a discussion board are not the "Democratic message".

Real Republican elected officials and media people are really talking about killing their political opponents, and making genuine threats. I don't suppose you find that to be a problem though.

Thank you for the scolding anyway.

[kabelad]

37. Venting

So wishing for all republicans to be sick, die or the such isn’t going to harm democracy. Sorry but autocracy extends to suppressing the will of others. You don’t think some of the posters wanting to target all is any different? And venting? If you have to call for violence against someone, harm to someone or wishing them to suffer, that’s beyond venting. That’s borderline psychotic. I get it, you don’t like them. That’s cool. Why would you want any human to suffer or die? Even prisoners are supposed to be not subject to cruel and unusual punishment, but it’s okay if those who think differently to be punished horribly. Awesome. I know plenty of countries that think that is okay. But we aren’t one.so then the last thing is, well they do it so it’s okay. No. No one who is a decent human being should wish harm on anyone else over political ideaology. I live in rural Colorado, and not one republican I know wants to overthrow democracy or see people die they disagree with. And last, every person that supports a message is the message. I was taught growing up if you stand for something, you represent it. Kind of like a democracy, one vote, one voice. When you go and post death wishes online do you not think others read it and it becomes language for what people represent. Every voice counts, and when you speak loudly and publicly that voice is recognized. So we are the message. Do you think someone just getting ready to vote for the first time isn’t going to listen to their peers.

[Crunchy Frog]

40. TLDR. I'm ignoring you until you get banned.

[wnylib]

35. The OP does not wish anything on anyone.

It only asks who we would not shed a tear over if they were overcome by covid. I am not wishing death or even covid on anyone. But, there are many who, if it happened, I would not cry over it, either.

I did not feel so strongly about it until 2 of my close relatives died due to magats spreading the virus. I have as much concern for the magats as they had for my brother and uncle.

[hlthe2b]

46. Except NO ONE here wished for them to "suffer or die..." At least keep your self-sanctimony factual

as unearned as it might be. I have no doubt you do NOT shed tears for those with whom you have no personal connection, experience or prior interaction and that is all that is being said here. Ambivalence towards those you don't know or even like is not a sin. Nor does it signal a lack of empathy nor compacity for empathy.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

24. Who has the time?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

26. The entire

Republican party and asshole magats. Along with incels, oaf keepers,
boogaloo boys and 1 percenters. All sociopaths,narcissists and authoritarians.

Oh,racists,sexists,anti trans, anti gblt, etc.


No fucks left for these
Useless selfish seditious
Greedy,selfish,controlling
cruel assholes.

[LiberatedUSA]

28. This kind of talk builds up bad karma. N/t

[I_UndergroundPanther]

69. I do not belive in karma

Who or what is doing all the keeping track adding and subtracting of karma for billions of people and everything they do or dont do to the point they check our very thoughts what is that accountant in the sky?

The concept of karma is not just action and reaction like some say it is.

Its more like a mental game with a santa claus with his good and naughty list that knows everything knows when your sleeping when you are awake. Better be good or you'll never get off the wheel of suffering and earn your way into nirvana.


When you get angry ooh cant say what you really feel because it will give you bad karma. ...?
Nice self censoring there...

For me karma is a lie.

[marie999]

29. I don't wish anyone dead, but that doesn't mean I will mourn for everyone who dies.

[mainer]

30. They're all vaccinated

They’re happy to let their followers die, though.

[LuckyCharms]

31. Myself, because I would know that

I did everything I could have to prevent it, but I drew a bad hand.

[harumph]

33. First of all, the only way to not be a chump

when dealing with people who are solely transactional beings - is by applying
a transactional ethic. The republicans do not give one shit about us. Therefore,
I refuse to give one shit about them. Second, they not only don't give a shit
about us - they wouldn't care if we were killed. Really people, they're sociopathic -
but don't conflate not caring about sociopaths with sociopathy.

Let me put it another way, if they were on fire and I had a bucket of water I'd throw it and miss.

And no, I'm not "better than that" whatever the fuck that means.

I'm not a "high" post count guy - but IMO low posts count "concerned" people are naïve or
disingenuous.

These motherfuckers that I would not shed a tear for tried to undermine OUR government - and negate MY vote - my sacred
VOICE. They SHIT on all of us and would do it again.

[kabelad]

38. Low post count

So since I don’t post all the time I don’t count as much or my opinion isn’t as important. I’m just as much an America as anyone, just as much a voter, and a vet. I didn’t realize it was a raffle where more entries was the most important thing. I lurk, I read a lot. I only post when I have something to say. I usually skip the posts celebrating others suffering and dying, but if you want me to start posting high fives in all those posts so I have a higher post count, I’ll try. No, I won’t. I’m not retired and have time to post all the time, and I work a job where I can’t sit around on a phone or computer and post all day. It takes all kinds. And I may be naive, I know it’s human nature to be hateful, but I try to find the best in people and survive. You get one life, and you should never go to bed hungry angry or sad. It doesn’t make life any better. But I’m just as much a member here as anyone else, regardless of post count. Man, saying that makes me feel like a democracy, where everyone counts, not just those we want to count

[BlackSkimmer]

56. People who try to be important because of post count amuse me.

There’s at least one poster here that I watched rack up thousands of posts in a few months. One wonders why, or not.

He’s still here.

Please ignore anyone who think they are some kind of VIP because they post a lot, often just emojis, or “lol!”, etc.

DU should welcome new members. I don’t know you, and I have no idea about your motivation.

But everyone was new here once. Hang in there.

[SunImp]

57. 1+ Those people are absolutely pathetic

[BlackSkimmer]

58. I think some people literally sit by their computer all day.

I can’t imagine the loneliness of that kind of life.

[Sympthsical]

74. Now now

Cable news ratings and Twitter spam doesn't just appear by itself.

[XanaDUer2]

59. So true. Ridiculous

When I left here, I had over 10k posts. When I came back, I started back at one post.

[BlackSkimmer]

60. We all started with one. These people who brag or try to lord over others about their post count

are too funny. I guess some are really bored.

[Emile]

43. RAND PAUL

Can't believe he is not on your short list!

[Vinca]

44. So many names, so little time . . .

[DFW]

45. Any U.S. Senator, Governor, or Congressperson whose title ends with "R- "

Fill in the state of your preference.

[dalton99a]

61. "When the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy."

Proverbs 11:10

Decent people don't grieve for Hitler or Charles Manson

[Akacia]

62. Steven miller.

[roamer65]

63. Add Greene and Bobert.

[jmowreader]

64. There's these two guys...

On Thursday I stopped at the supermarket on the way home from work. When I left the store there was a lifted Jeep sitting beside my car. It had a personalized plate reading “FR3EDOM.” Both door windows had I Will Not Comply signs in them. The whole back was plastered with antivax stickers - lions not sheep, I will not comply, something equating vaccination to the Holocaust…I don’t remember all of it, but it was a mess.

There’s also a man in town who runs a junk hauling service. His car has always been covered with right wing bullshit. Now he’s got antivax, anti-Biden and anti-AOC bullshit. There’s an upside down flag and a huge Trump is my president banner.

If those two were to wind up intubated, the only complaint is Kootenai Health isn’t that big and intubating two more fucking idiots takes away bed space from the cancer patients North Idaho breeds like rabbits.

[Zeitghost]

65. Such a clack of compassion

SMFH, what some of you have become saddens me.

[Torchlight]

66. I cried over one person who went on a vent due to covid. No one else to date.

I suppose if someone close to me goes on one, I may cry again but for the most part my tears are result of things that involve my personal world.

I'm sad that people die from covid, but I don't really cry often unless I have a sense of immediacy or direct loss.

[bluecollar2]

68. I only get to pick 1...n/t?

[MustLoveBeagles]

70. All of them plus many other trumpers with a caveat

I don't wish suffering and death on anyone no matter how much I dislike them but I wouldn't shed tears over their passing either because that would be hypocritical.

[FelineOverlord]

71. The only person in the world I may despise more than Trump

Vladimir Putin.

[brooklynite]

72. Nobody.

I don't revel in other people's suffering.

[Sympthsical]

73. A thread yearning for death

You know we're supposed to be the good guys, right? Maybe tuck that little fantasy away for awhile while countless continue dying.
