If we had a functional democracy, then the opposition party would have made Epstein a major figure in the presidential elections.
The Democratic Party had three opportunities - 2016, 2020, 2024 - when they should have been shouting "Epstein" from every podium, instead they brushed it under the rug.
The reality is we didn't "all" know. Ask any random person on the street, they've never heard of TrafficKing or Julie K Brown or even Virginia Giuffre. It is easy to blame individual voters for their ignorance, but it makes much more sense to view this as an institutional failure.
Indeed, instead they pretended he wasn't running in four years, and when they did run against him, it was to court Republican voters (the majority of her campaign).
This was in spite of the well-known mathematical fact that an Independent issue must be campaigned on to win an election. Instead, they were "hoping" (officially) Rs would change their mind.
Can't argue with the money they made to do this though, a billion dollars is a new record, especially when she just had a few months. It took Trump FOUR YEARS to raise 900 million or so, she did it in about four months. Amazing, unheard amounts of Super-PAC money made this happen, she did what she was paid to do.
This is all public information, they don't even bother to hide it any longer, it's now LEGAL (because as you know, corporations are people and money is free speech).
I'd argue if you had a functioning democracy then the Dems wouldn't have needed to do anything about this, much less need it as a campaign tactic. The criminals would go to jail and probably the conservative party would dissolve.
sorry, israel comes first
