  • So you’d rather the Dems “did the right thing”^(1) and kept losing?

    Wasn’t the entirety of their loss in 2024 due to them playing by the rules, taking the high road, and “doing the right thing”?

    The dilemma here is choosing between:

    • publishing this file immediately, resulting in a week or two of media flurry before it’s buried by the avalanche of shit Paedo In Chief paddles constantly, resulting in zero justice being served
    • publishing this file at a time where it can be helpful, so the victims get at least some form of justice when Dems are elected (and hopefully push for reform and maybe even a criminal investigation)

    ^(1) Is it even the right thing to blow a case up knowing it will have no effect beyond MAGA shitstains harassing the victims to no end? That the victims will never see justice?



  • I see your point, but you got to understand there’s multiple layers to this.

    They could’ve brought up this case earlier, but it would’ve changed nothing. It would’ve been swallowed by the constant shit tsunami generated by his orange rapistness. It would’ve gone on the pile of “shit he did but won’t get punished for”. After all there won’t be an investigation, a legal case, anything.

    This is only useful as political munition, and should be used as such. It won’t WIN them directly anything, but it might tilt things enough with the “undecided” voters to provide an upper edge.

    Or would you rather they released this 8-10 months ago, and resulted in nothing but a week or two of headlines?


  • Yes, but also not just corruption.

    The rich can throw their economic weight around in a number of ways.

    For example, an employer of 10-50-100k people could say that if certain laws get passed, they’ll simply… stop operating in the country, because losing said operations isn’t as much a loss than what those new laws introduce.

    And politicians do have to consider the livelihood of those people. It’s not like a new company will pop up and buy all the equipment, hire those people, and provide economic stability for 10-100 thousand families. The company leaving doesn’t just mean a drop in tax revenue, but also now up to 500k people are destitute and require government support to survive.
