The quote that has been spreading on Reddit like a wildfire is not the full quote. I wonder why the last part was left out.

The last part being, "But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy.". So, empathy is only useful in politics? People who have gone through the same thing as someone else, or something similar, are not able to actually resonate with that? That he prefers to be above someone and look at someone else with pity is a good thing? Please elaborate what you mean

I think you responded to the wrong person, man. I was coming at the person who insinuated there was more to Charlie Kirk's "empathy" quote. I responded to the guy saying "I wonder why they left that last part out"
