It's not like the US government has never assassinated a political candidate domestically. We would never stoop so low.
Except of course for JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcolm X, and possibly several other assassinations of political figures. Not to mention many put in prison (Eugene Debbs) or forced into exile (WEB Dubois).
If we didn't have such a tightly controlled two party political system where only acceptable candidates are allowed to rise, we'd probably be seeing more imprisonments and killings of political candidates today in the USA.
The system has been trying for a while to put Trump in prison, but fundamentally though ugly he is compatible with keeping the system going. Even mild reformist candidates like Bernie and Nadar recieve immense pressure and dirty tricks to shut them out.
It never looks good when people die in prison, but hand wringing over Navalny is the pot calling the kettle black.

Well said, Gavin! Bravo ❤️
