McCain was a Republican and Kerry is a Democrat. Of course they were viable!
they didn’t win. the label of “viable” is a myth.

Unless you are introducing a viable candidate
viability is a media myth. kerry was viable. mccain was viable.
You are actively supporting all the negative things about the candidate you agree with least by not voting for one of the two primary candidates.
that’s not what active support is.
this isn’t science, it is story telling
People don’t upvote. You’re more likely to be criticized for a position than engaged with. Opinions that disagree with the hive mind are often quickly downvoted regardless of whether or not the position has validity.
i experience this constantly on lemmy.
except all the ones you are ignoring
there are wikipedia articles about both of these topics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_terrorism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_terrorism
and, of course,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_violence
edit:
this is only one metric, but i think it’s notable that there are about 80 references on the left wing page and approximately 3.5 times that many on the right wing page.
marginalizing an accomplished academic and political activist as a lunatic is gross.
