      …or they’re friends with child rapists, or owe favors to child rapists. Those three are the only answers that make sense.

        That is the more likely true explanation. All of these rich and powerful people know each other, owe favors to each other, have dirt on each other etc. That makes them less likely to put anyone in their circle in danger.

      Yup.

      Clintons were very good friends with Biden but also trump.

      Neoliberals poisoned the party so much that during Epstein’s hey day the letter by a name didn’t matter, trump himself was a big donor to the Dem party back then.

      Neither Biden or trump could release just the names of people they don’t like, because they’d snitch on the people they liked and then you’re on the hook for protecting the ones you liked.

      Someone like AOC is the only shot at a president that would actually release it. We need more politicians who have a loyalty to voters over a party.

      Party leadership changes, and we got a rare window right now the party won’t block someone like AOC. We can’t count on that being true in 2032 if she doesn’t feel ready in 2028.

      Ready or not, it’s time.

        You act like Bernie doesn’t exist. I’m 100% confident that he’s not assosiated with that hot mess in any way.

            C’mon now. Old elderly white men who could die any minute is what this country has exclusively elected since 2016.

            If anything he has a better chance than AOC at being president, simply for having white hair, wrinkles, and a penis.

      That’s my thinking, US citizens are prisoners of the immorality of the richest regardless of their political contributions. Trump has masterfully exploited this with the “devide and empire” maxime.

      Note how normal people have no issues saying that Democrats may be (or likely are) in the Epstein files, but MAGAs are like “The files are a hoax but if they exist he is not in them but if he’s in them it’s just a juvenile mistake, who cares”
