She should not be charged in my opinion. It wasn’t a credible threat.

What the shootings has done is shown how many Americans are fed up with the current system.

You’re seeing stories from democrat and republicans.

I don’t condone the violence at all but he may have sparked a medical revolution in our country.

Do you have any links to conservative takes on this? I know full well I am in a bubble and that’s the way I god damn like it. But in this case, knowing the universality of the sentiment would be really, umm, empowering?

Well I am a conservative and mostly associate with conservatives. Talking to my liberal friends, their take is almost identical to my Republican friends.

I don’t think people realized how aligned everyone is on this issue.

It’s the stories that are coming out that is making people talk about this topic. Those stories were ignored until the CEO was murdered.

People denied cancer treatment. wtf.

I live in an area so red that if you saw it you'd say it was bleeding. The people here always, and I mean always, talk about how wrong it is for someone to act as a vigilante, and murder is wrong, and the insurance companies might be not-the-best, but it's no excuse... bla bla bla. They think the woman here is in the wrong, and don't even care.

See the recent slew of posts about the new york times for the conservative take on the issue.
