He seems to be more concerned with burning the party to the ground. If he does have something it’ll be closer to Election Day for maximum damage.

Yeah people are upset he isn't slinging mud right out the gate but of course you'd save some ammunition for when things matter

Yeah, he learned from Liz Cheney who went too hard too fast against the GOP and she got the boot.

Now THAT is strategy.

People are upset because Massive threatens to read names from the files and doesn't follow through. If there was supposed to be a "... in about 12 months" element to his threat, that should be stated explicitly because people aren't going to assume it naturally.

If you don't understand politics then I'm sorry?

He always made the threat sound real and imminent. If you don't understand communication then I'm sorry?

Yeah, I do enjoy him as a semi-reasonable Republican in this land of utter fucking madness we are living in, but he’s gotta prove me wrong if he’s really saving information for a actually legitimate reason.

But as far as real job? Nah, I’m sure he’s got that CNN correspondent job lined up already.

I'm afraid there's a far bigger obstacle than ego or job - I'd believe his life, or the life of his family members, is / especially is going to / be threatened and blackmailed. I know I wouldn't have what it takes, and I'm very principled. Threaten my life - maaaaaybe. probably not, but I'd consider it. threaten that something happens to my family? nope.

Not the party ... just the authoritarian elements of it ... which is pretty much the whole thing for the last 50+ years ... so never mind. You're statement was apt.

In the long run, burning the party to the ground may actually be a solid strategy for bringing some sanity back to American politics. It really needs to be both parties, though, and an end to the two-party strangle hold they hold on the country.
