“I want to hear how they fucked this up” Because the two wings of the Democratic Party are so eager to play “gotcha” that they’ll pounce on bs small stories creating noise and toxically attack each other. Meaning real stories like this get suppressed as air is sucked out of the room. Hell even as this story breaks, half the talking heads are too busy saying “haha told you so” or “this is an establishment attack” rather than caring about the victim, or even the political race. In 2020 Russia invested attack ads in telling Republicans that Democrats were enemies of America and funding podcasters that stoked right wing agendas. They also ran ads telling Democrats that other Democrats were their enemy, and funding podcasts that stoked internal division. Both campaigns were remarkably effective. Only one of those campaigns does the average Dem realize. The rational response to this moment is simple: -No prior “red flag” is relevant to this claim, and it did not have the veracity of this claim, so it’s irrelevant to this discussion. -He had a lead and won the primary, it’s reasonable to support that unless there is actual evidence of wrong doing. -Now there is a very credible claim of something heinous, you drop him, replace him with someone better (lock him up) and identify gaps in your vetting process. But if the response is “haha I told you so!” while America is dealing with a Christian-nationalist takeover and a corrupt rapist president, then you’ve lost the fucking plot.(Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth))
