If they can elect a felon to the white house, so could we.

If you’re waiting for perfect, you’ll be waiting for ever.

I mean if people are gonna have guns and people with mental crises who go and murder other people, then let's choose the lesser evil:

a) Sandy Hook style shooting up a school, killing many kids and teachers

b) New Orleans style driving a car into a public event, killing many partygoers

c) Luigi style murdering a single person who is arguably themselves guilty of causing the legal death and suffering of thousands

Now what would be the lesser evil in this scenario?

Obviously, I prefer no dead people, which would require regulating guns and providing mental healthcare and a social safety net to people, but alas, that option seems to be impossible.

unfortunately it is also a bad showing of the left because this guy ends up taking more action.

"the point of theory is to change the world" -Marx. If the left does nothing then the left has failed us. Luigi isn't perfect, but he is a real person who was willing to sacrifice everything, to walk away from a life of comfort and privilege, just to take a stand against evil and to show the entire world that even a god king can bleed (300 reference)
