It would be better to focus our efforts on getting folks out to vote rather than wishing death upon a man. A strong turnout would be an easy win for Kamala.
I want to be a better person than my enemies, but I make an exception for my conduct towards them specifically. Nobody ever won a fight by being nice, and I have no moral qualms about wishing for someone to reap what they so relentlessly sow.
Explain how wishing someone would die is unethical. Do you think the world works on Tinkerbell rules? Putin and Netanyahu are old men. Old men die. I wish they’d go ahead and die already. Where’s the lack of ethics?
There’s a difference between wishing death upon them and death my natural causes.
Do you think it’s okay to be going around and telling people “I wish you would die”? If it’s not okay for some people it’s not okay for all people per Kant
And no one here is telling Trump, Putin or Netanyahu that they wish they would die because chances are no one here would be able to get close enough to them to do it. And if they did, they’d be the ones who would die.
So you can keep bringing up Kant, but you’re being both inconsistent and bringing up something irrelevant.
It is some magical thinking that they want to participate in. Most of us would agree it’s not okay for the government to punish people for no reason. Therefore it is unethical to punish any criminals, per Kant. Lunacy.
Best of luck to the next guy!

Wishing for someone to attack your rivals is something Trump does. A lot.
Surely you consider yourself to be a better person than Trump, right? So don’t use his shitty behavior to excuse your own.

No, at this point Trump is his own worst enemy. Better he stay alive than die and become a martyr that the next guy can put words in the mouth of
Why do you think it’s okay to wish death on someone?
I wish death on Putin and Netanyahu because they’re inhuman monsters. I hope that’s okay with you.
No, because I subscribe to Kantian ethics. You can’t make an ethical rule and add exceptions.
Why do you expect others to subscribe to your particular interpretation of one particular philosopher’s ethical framework?

It’s not okay to tell people who aren’t actively committing atrocities that one wishes they would die. I apply that to all humans equally.
You didn’t say the method of death mattered.
