    Yes, the ones that didn’t campaign on exactly this topic, releasing the files. I believe they should be released but this whataboutism is just silly.

      This is not whataboutism. It’s pointing out hypocrisy of a party that is over the last 8 years have first failed at holding DJT accountable and now are actively collaborating on enabling his authoritarian state by first confirming his incompetent cabinet, then by voting for his bills and now trying to placate voters by “doing an effort” to release the files.

      Not to mention railing against democratic candidates who have popular support in their own party.

      There’s a broader context, but you know that or you wouldn’t start swearing the second someone disagrees with you.

        What the fuck are you talking about? That is precisely what happened here. Most of these republican goons got their base frothing at the mouths over these documents, holding up binders, going on talk shows and news shows, literally claiming they’d release these documents. And now they aren’t.

          There was an entire term prior to Biden you dolt. That’s what the fuck I’m talking about. Didn’t shore up SS or medicare trust funds either, but hey it was only four years long I know.
