It was a bad tactic when the communists were doing it with Gaza, and it's still a bad tactic when the liberals do it with Epstein.
Bloody fuck, we're going to be getting shoved into train cars and some dumbass like you is going to say "HAH! They will never distract us from the Epstein Files!"
We deserve this.
we deserve this
No we don't
One of the hardest pills to swallow in life is you may suffer for the actions or inactions of others despite whatever you think you may deserve or not, and the universe doesn't owe you fairness or a good ending.
Do you personally deserve this and did you personally have an opportunity to get lefty shithead kids lost in fantasy-land that we're going to fight for some future of equality for all to suddenly focus on pushing the nation's giant segment of selfish, working class morons to shift their focus to a class-war instead of a culture war, which would have been our only chance? Probably not.
But every single one of us, could have done more. We all share a little of this accountability for vastly underestimating how readily our population would stand by and let WW2 Hitler become revived and start making policy decisions while wiping his ass with the constitution.
How fucking privileged do you have to be to write-off the administration stripping constitutional rights as a "distraction"?
I swear the US could just start shooting Americans in the streets and lemmy would call it a distraction from the epsteib files.
Yes. Losing your rights is not a distraction.
But also the Epstein files are a bipartisan pathway to removing the fascists from power.
The fascists who are taking our rights.
Bipartisan?
I am begging of you, my brother/sister/etc in Christ, understand that the algorithm is feeding you bullshit.
Just because there are a few pundits or republican political figures yelling about it, doesn't mean that carries any political weight or power, most of it is lip-service to the people who are already adherently locked into the GOP and just want to feel like they're "challenging power" and are already moving on, self-satisfied. The right AND liberal america has moved on. It's just B-roll sub-plot that people have lost interest in.
Trump owns the judicial branch of our FEDERAL FUCKING GOVERNMENT, he will never face charges, crimes or impeachment over Epstein or anything else. At this point, talking about Epstein is serving him, not hurting him, because he's allowing his admin to go full Reichstag right now and doing far, far more harm to our country than we can fix by crying about "law" right now.
Fascists are in power and you think "bipartisanship" is the solution?
Republican voters want the list released.
I'm sorry the word bipartisan triggers you
Republicans are busy turning this country into the western North Korea at the moment. But I'm sure they'll reach across the aisle to help release incriminating evidence against their guy any day now.
I'm sorry your mother drank while pregnant.
I’m sorry your mother drank while pregnant.
well that's just uncalled for
Whine more as the country burns.
I'm sure it will make you feel better if you just keep doing it.
Adults are looking at all possible solutions.
Yo, spoilers for next week!
Starting to think some of these are bots trying to stoke distraction.
Nah. Getting rid of critical media voices is not a distraction. If anything, it’s what they want you to be distracted off.
I've been saying this for weeks.
They dont fucking care about the Epstein files. They're not going to release anything incriminating.
Meanwhile, the US has gone full mask off authoritarian fascism.

Losing our first amendment right is not a distraction.
At this point they could release video of Trump fucking kids and nothing would happen.
Oh, something would happen. His supporters would try to pretend he is some sort of hero for fucking children and punish anyone who uses words like "rape", "sexual assault", or "predator" to describe Trump or the contents of the video.
They would say "Some children getting fucked is worth it"
The kids would be labeled dirtbags and scum
They clearly deserved it.
/s
… sigh ….
what were they wearing?
Trump is a narcissist in the highest position of power.
He will do ANYTHING to protect his own interests.
Threatening your 1st amendment rights is of no more concern to him than who is folding his laundry.
It isn’t that this isn’t significant—it is. It is just important that he doesn’t get the response he wants, which is to save his own ass by attacking our rights.
And if you don't react to it, like you suggest, you lost your rights. That's FAR more important than Trump's ego.
THIS IS A DISTRACTION FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES! CAN’T YOU SEE IT!!!
He screamed as he was herded into the cattle cars at gunpoint.
I fucking swear the left is as brain-dense as the right about so much stupid shit; lost in narratives, stuck in one place, seeking the most acceptable social performance to get upvotes and support.
Honestly, I’m seeing this mostly from the Dem officials and people who take their lead. I think it’s a symptom of not being able to actually communicate with people like actual human beings, and’s not being able to formulate a coherent vision.
They just look at increasingly dated poll numbers and keep playing the same song on repeat.

How many comments of "great where are the Epstein files" would there be at the end of a couple months if we all posted that to different posts.
86,000 if we did 10 a day for just a month. 86,000 "where's the files" on the most popular posts that then get viewed by probably hundreds of thousands.
When people say "oh the right have big bad companies with money" just remember, those companies are trying to do what we would do naturally and for free. We just need to coordinate and get on the same page. You're not just some island casually viewing. You're participating, and the includes if you choose to not participate. It's the same principle as voting. Those that choose to not cast a vote are still voting.
Careful, sheltered Lemmyites don't take kindly to being told they have power to leave this sheltered space and go out and face actual action and responsibility.
