Those three are the only answers that make sense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nimpnin@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Someone like AOC is the only shot at a president that would actually release it.
