Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

Didn't know about that as I've been thoroughly disgusted by the whole thing & not paying close attention. All that proves, however, is that some significant number of Democratic lawmakers are DINOs in the pockets of the rich - not exactly a secret. America desperately needs viable third party alternatives, the lack of which is why it's where it is now. Until that happens, I'm hoping the progressives can eventually take up enough positions within the Democrats to turn them around.

I mean, say what you want about DINOs but they're not MAGA, so the claim that only MAGA glorifies Kirk is wrong. Also those DINOs represent the political establishment, so this problem is much deeper than a handful of lawmakers in Congress.
