The undersigned, wish to express our complete support for Shahid Buttar regarding all aspects of his character, integrity and leadership. We specifically wish to vouch for his high ethical standards and behavior. The accuser is well known in the DC social justice community. Unfortunately, this tro
Pelosi doesn't need to do this. Buttar has no chance of winning, 0%. She's the resistance kween, high profile and loved by dems. Buttar's campaign was to show that there's a good chunk of party base discontent with her, i don't think they ever thought they would win(or it's a grift to raise profile, i dunno). Risk of Pelosi losing is very low compared to risk of her paying someone to blame your opponent of rape becoming public.
Is there a possibility of Pelosi doing a paid character assassination? Very slim. Is there a possibility of accuser being "troubled person with history of false accusations"? Low.
Come on people, this is another case of "our good friend could never be a creep, he's never like this around us".
At what point do we start thinking in terms of Harm Reduction?
Could he have done all of the stuff that was alleged? Yes.
Would that be bad? Yes.
Having said that we're taking about an anti-Imperialist socialist who would be replacing a powerful, very corrupt member of congress.
Nancy Pelosi actively harms hundreds of millions of people globally as the supposed "leader of the opposition" in the greatest imperial power of the current day.
She is in lockstep with the security state, both in forms of domestic and foreign policy.
She is a vocal cheerleader of the coups and coup attempts in South America.
She is stenographer for the CIA regarding the whole Hong Kong-PRC situation.
She whipped the dems to greatly expand military spending and the ICE detention system as well as militarizing our border.
She attacks any member of the party that is vocally pro-Palestine.
She is hellbent on maintaining the ruling classes grip on just about every part of our society.
So forgive if this is a "bad take", but I think Buttar should apologize (he did), any actual criminal issues should be handled through the court, and we should move forward. Pelosi is 10000x worse than Buttar

Buttar isn't winning comrade, it could be considered if he had a chance but he's running against Pelosi. No way he wins
