Shock poll: 41 percent of young voters find killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO acceptable

1. I’m not sure why it’s at the bottom since I’d consider it fairly important information, but:

   >The survey was conducted Dec. 11-13 among 1,000 registered voters. The margin of error was 3 percentage points.

2. I dont see how this is shocking. Did they think that they were going to sympathize with the CEO of one of the most predatory businesses out there?

   It wouldnt surprise me if the actual number was actually higher but that a lot of people simply gave acceptable answers instead.

3. I wonder how big the overlap between people who watched _Purge_ movies and genuinely thought that it would be a great idea, and those who are horrified by all the cheering and memeing about this murder.

   “Acceptable” is the way I’d describe it. It doesn’t matter if I support it or not, if their business practices will stay this way, statistically, some people will snap and choose violence, simply because the problem is real and no non-violent solution seem to work. Remember, those who make a peaceful change impossible merely warrant a violent one inevitable.

4. My wife had an interesting point

   Can you try someone for terrorism, if the ‘terrorist act’ in question garners a lot of support amongst the local population?

5. Absolutely mad that people have sunk this low to celebrate the murder of an innocent man. I bet a lot of the people celebrating, were clutching their pearls over J6 or Kyle Rittenhouse tho.

6. The most shocking thing to me is that we haven’t already had multiple copycats.

   People are already pushed to the edge. They keep being pushed a little bit more every few months. If tariffs really do raise prices by 25-35% I think you’re going to start seeing a lot of business leaders getting Luigi’ed in the back of the head.

7. By systematically profiteering off of the denial of healthcare, suffering and deaths of millions(?) of people, I reckon he is up there with the worst behaved individuals in all of recorded human history. You may as well have a poll about the acceptability of tyrannicide.

8. I’m shocked it’s only as low as 41%

   Now anyways please enjoy this random text to meet the completely pointless, and arbitrary character limit. Bongo.

9. Is this world news and politics / major events worthy?

   It is internal / domestic US news, and young US voters make up less than 1% of the entire human population.

10. Only 41%? I expected a higher number, that’s shockingly low for how shitty the US healthcare system is and how many have had huge life impacting negative experiences within their social circles caused by healthcare insurance companies.

11. Only 41?

    Let’s not be bashful. I want to say the under 50 crowd is probably at like 70% acceptance of this as okay. (This figure is based entirely off of vibes.)
