You can call out the right for politicizing a death without making yourself out to be an immediately family member because it gives your words more weight.

How exactly did she make that claim when he point blank says she's her cousin. Do you usually differentiate between 1st and 2nd cousins? Yeesh

Yes, absolutely I do. A second cousin is a parent's cousin's kid. Most people will never meet their second cousins. A cousin is an aunt or uncle's kid and you probably grew up around them. They're very much in a different class.

But this is pointless. I don't think politicizing the death is good, but I don't think the way she postured herself is good either. Neither are good.

Some second cousins grow up closer than siblings. My fiancee's third cousin or whatever was living with us for the better part of a year

You're so full of shit

That doesn't apply to every family though, and you don't know if it applies to Mollie's

So yes, he's full of shit

Colloquially second cousin is children of a cousin as well

I have second cousins that are close in age to me who Ive known their whole lives

A young girl is murdered by an illegal immigrant at a time when illegal immigration is a hot political topic.

I mean, I don't think it's possible for her death not to be politicized in this climate.

Same thing for school shootings.

Imagine letting trolls shift the conversation from "The right are disgusting bigots for trying to politicize this" to "But it's not an immediate family member, even though I know that was never claimed nor is it relevant!"
Stop responding to them and stay on message.

On paper no, but none of us knows what kind of relationship they had. They could be as close as siblings like mentioned above and as a family member asks that you respect them and not let their loss become fuel for politicians.

dude fuck off. what the fuck is wrong with you? "ITS JUST A 2ND COUSIN SO THIS DOESN'T COUNT!"...i don't see my 2nd cousins a lot on account of them living in different countries or states but they are still like brothers and sisters to me. you have no fuckin right to determine how close of a family member you need to be to call out the bull shit that you want to keep forcing out there.

I dont know, whatd you drink to make you think anyone fucking cares what your relationship is with your second cousin?

Apparently while I don't get why people are mad, you don't get why I brought that up. I said it already. The person said they are 2nd cousins. That is why I thought it was relevant. In my opinion it's relevant to the topic but others disagree

It's not relevant because the whole point of the discussion is that some people are close with their second cousins, despite what s0nicfan is saying. You then interject by saying you don't know anybody. Who the fuck cares? That's your own personal problem and your lonely life isn't the norm
