Eugene V. Debs will always be my favorite imprisoned candidate. Respectable vote count too, given their situation.
Remember remember!
The 4th of December
A CEO dies all alone;
On the street he was lain,
cold, pale and in pain,
thousands of deaths that he own.
The decisions he’d struck,
Layers removed from the slaughter,
Were a shareholders treat,
Your dead mother or daughter.
Those investors all wait, on that cold winter morn,
Still unaware of profit potential they’d mourn,
Poking at hotel breakfast, bored looks on their face
As Brian’s when he denied and delayed at great pace
Endless growth, deposed, on behalf of us all
Luigi didn’t do it, we were hiking in Nepal.
The problem is that the guy would be a third party candidate, which means he would get treated as a sinkhole for the voters of the opposite party. This would work specially well for the GQP since they could just have a candidate adopt his ideology, throw a lot of money into news, media, and rallies to trump up support, and then easily turn around and just not fulfill it when they win. Meanwhile, there will be plenty of people in the other side of the flawed bipartisan system who will just blame democrats for not choosing their third party candidate regardless of the actual consequences voting third party has in USA’s democratic facade of a system.

No. I mean I get that it’s tongue-in-cheek, but just stop. This social media edgelord shit is just Q-Anon of the left.
I mean if we wanna turn this guy into a hero, maybe we should talk about the fact that he shot some relatively powerless, fake-title CEO of a subsidiary while retweeting praise of Elon Musk, the biggest oligarch in the world. He’s not even a quality villain, much less a hero.
