It isn’t a win for the left at all. In fact this seems to be sowing a lot of dissent in the the left. I have some friends that are left. This shook them up. They always say Charlie as a decent person with ideas they didn’t agree with. Not someone who should be shot.

nobody on the left sees charlie as a decent person.

I have see many people say it. It everyone is an ignorant piece of shit. Some people can disagree with someone’s views but still respect their good qualities.

I've seen a few on the far left, and more than a few in the moderate left.

Do you think it's good to think someone's evil for very basic classical liberal beliefs?

Exactly, hardline fools will celebrate his death but they are the minority and it will only appendage them politically and socially. It would be like if someone went and shot James carville or Anderson Cooper. It solves nothing, matures things worse and the people who would celebrate it would only make their party worse off

Personally I think this was a stupid move. It draws more interest to Charlie and his views. Murdering people isn’t the fight answer when you disagree. I suspect they just pushed the republicans into winning 2026.
