His narrative is a bit wonky but the general idea is true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Democratic_National_Committee_email_leak
Trump's presidency was so chaotic that it made us forget that the DNC Chair resigned mid campaign because of this scandal.
So the emails, hacked by Russians, revealed that a lot of Democrats didn't like Bernie. Big fucking deal, a lot of people didn't like Bernie. What did the DNC supposedly do to hurt Bernie?
And the DNC chair resigned because Democrats always resign. See Al Franken. Doesn't matter if they did anything wrong, Dems are just spineless.
I have to wonder... If the Russians had hacked Bernie Madoff or Sam Bankman Fried, would Reddit Liberals think they were heroes, too?
It does though. It matters quite a bit.
It should, but it doesn't. Dems resign all the time because of a "perception of impropriety" or whatever the fuck. Dem officials are spineless, and social justice warriors are bloodthirsty vampires.
I wish they did. Guys like Cuellar and Menendez cling stubbornly to their seats. I wouldn't be surprised if Eric Adams needs to get dragged out of the mayor's office before too long.
Advice to Dems who keep getting in trouble. Maybe stop doing crimes.
It's starting to change because (thank Christ) Dems have realized how stupid resigning at the drop of a hat is.
The ones who do crimes will get forced out as the evidence will support their removal via the proper legal processes.
The ones who didn't actually do anything wrong will rightly ignore the SJWs until something else shiny captures their attention, and they will not get forced out because the evidence will not support it.
I'll believe it when I finally see it.
