Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Although it may be justifiable from a moral perspective, a Trump assassination would likely lead to the Republican problem becoming even worse as we've seen a slight bump in the polls after the attempted assassination, and the other Republicans candidates as just as if not even more of a threat than him.

"probably"

Do you think his assassination would be morally in addition to strategically wrong?

Yes!

Morally, I don't believe in killing humans at all, especially summarily and without due process.
Self defense being an obvious exception.

Which would make a strategic purpose moot. However, strategically it's dumb: half the voting public would likely revolt, violently, and a sizeable portion of the other half would react negatively at the polls.

I want to agree but I think armed resistance is often necessary as well
