So I don’t get all the mechanics of how US politics work but I don’t understand how people can see this happening and still think the party who selected him as their candidate cares about winning the election. Don’t come at me about presumption of innocence or accusing me of demanding perfection. I don’t care about this man and what he’s done. I’m shocked that the party who puts respectability above all else didn’t drop him like hot potatoes after the first scandal.

Because most of the scandals have been bullshit. The Nazi tattoo theory didn’t make sense and the other sexual abuse story came from someone whose literal job is promoting Republicans. And it’s been clear he’s getting an avalanche of opposition funding from the rich. This is the first one that smells legit, but the timing is kind of suspicious. But more importantly, the “party” didn’t select him. They want moderate insiders with 30 years of vetting and personal relationships with donors. The voters want outsiders who are willing to try to change things.

The first scandal was basically that he’s a CHUD dumbass and an edge lord when he was younger… But who cares? That much was obvious, and his platform is on point. The media just presented it as more than it was, because the billionaires own the media and are terrified of progressives This is the first serious scandal. Unfortunately it’s too late to replace him, and supposedly there’s something much worse that hasn’t been released yet…a depressing day of news all around
