Two people can both be pieces of shit. And it’s actually pretty common for disingenuous trolls to get behind obviously popular causes, it helps build their brand. And additionally, it’s certainly possible that Peter Thiel wants to destroy the Democrats and thinks that removing Chuck Schumer will disrupt some watered-down anti-fascism that the Democrats are doing in congress any time they get their heads out of their asses, and also that removing Chuck Schumer is an absolutely vital step to reduce the horror in our governance and the ceaseless losing of elections by Democrats.
The problems in Washington are a lot deeper than any given individual and are mostly bipartisan. There is a reason why these absolute corrupt spineless buffoons keep getting elevated to these vaunted positions, and removing one buffoon is not going to right the ship. That’s one thing that makes zero sense to me about “Democrats are part of a corrupt system, so therefore stop voting for Democrats and presto the corrupt system will be fixed!” But, also, a change of leadership away from the absolute worst that the Democrats have to offer can absolutely be a good thing even if it disrupts in the short run.
You either missed the part where I said this or you’re ignoring it:
I’m all for replacing Schumer the right way. I’m not ok with Peter Thiel using the media to manipulate the public, and make us cheer while he installs his own Senate leader.
Given this information, why do you think Peter Thiel could benefit from showing that he could successfully manipulate the press and the public to have Schumer suddenly removed right now, and install his own candidate to oversee the Senate? What’s changed since now and September when Schumer tried to get those files released by the Senate, the same day news about Thiel, J.P. Morgan broke?
The investigation is being led by Democrats in the Senate, but Senate Republicans refused to vote to release them after House Republicans had already blocked the release for a second time earlier that same day.
It would be very unwise to let Thiel use his shadowy CIA strong arm bullshit, to successfully manipulate the public and intimidate the members of the House and Senate by removing Schumer just in time for those files to finally be released.
