Seriously? Do you follow the news at all?

The man who was executed was the one who DEMANDED to be executed by nitrogen gas, it was his final wish.

Source on this? I can't find anything about that. I did find this.

Smith’s 1989 conviction was overturned, but he was convicted again in 1996. The jury recommended a life sentence by 11-1, but a judge overrode that and sentenced him to death. Alabama no longer allows a judge to override a jury’s death penalty decision.

In the wake of Smith’s failed execution, he has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and is being prescribed a cocktail of medications including drugs to control migraines. His prison psychiatrist has recorded that he is suffering from insomnia, anxiety and depression – symptoms often associated with severe trauma.

“I am not ready for that. Not in no kind of way. I’m just not ready, brother,” he said.

That alone is enough for me to question the states ability to administer justice. Whoever told you he requested it is a liar and likely trying to manipulate you; or is just stupid.

Put him and all his little cultists against a wall.

I ate sooo many peanut butter sandwiches as a kid; a big toasty + pb and a glass of chocolate milk was my jam for years. Shit, it kind of still is if I'm being honest.

That wasn't even the first time. Nixon tried to sabotage Vietnamese peace talks in 1968 to hurt LBJ. It worked then too, the only thing that matters when you want power is winning.

Yep, rapist and sex trafficker Matt Gaetz.

The president of the U.S. is more responsible for Palestinian deaths than the Prime Minister of Israel?

What a dumb take, this is why nobody takes you seriously.

Oh yeah? Well, my dad owns Wikipedia and he's going to ban you when he gets home.

Oh wow I didn't realize I was talking to a Wikipedia Editor.

I apologize sir, mind if I ask what edits are yours?

I don't need proof? It's not a court of law. It's definitely enough for me to not support her though. And for me to know that she would lose again just like every other time she runs. Idealism is great my friend but you have to be realistic. Running the same failed candidate over and over isn't a winning move.

I appreciate that you took time to read some of the wiki I linked and learned the word "mcarthyist," Dr. Stein is free to file a libel lawsuit I guess, I'm sure she'll be as mad as you are.

Oh I don't dislike the Russian people, or really any Slavic cultures. There's a lot of great food and literature and folklore from that area of the world, I can appreciate that.

Putin seems to be a cunt though.

Fuck Russia

Please familiarize yourself with nomenclature before joining in on the conversation. It's important we're all on the same page to avoid confusion. Objecting to semantics is fine but doesn't really add to anything in this context. It's really just a distraction.

Unfortunately neither of those people can actually win a general election right now.

edit: That you'd even suggest Jill Stein, who had her own Russian collusion affair or Cornel West, an extremely well-educated but easily stereotyped as "angry black man" as remotely having a chance of winning a general election is hilarious and shows just how disconnected from reality your thinking is. You're likely being played by Moscow right now whether you know it or not, comrade.

So, no link to genocide on the ballot then?

Good luck finding a U.S. politician that doesn't support Israel.

Wow really!? Want to link that?

Unfortunately genocide isn't on the ballot so you'll need to base your vote on some other metric.

Oh look a concern troll that's sooooooo concerned about NH and state party rules. This person 100% actually cares and isn't just trying to suppress the left vote.

I bet a nice light dose of MDMA with a good/group therapist you trust would be incredibly beneficial. It's hard on the body but once or twice per year (or whatever) isn't going to hurt an adult. Feeling that connection with others and your own feelings is something a lot of people are missing in their lives IMO.

I could see kratom maybe having some pain management effects but that's about it.
