I'm reserving judgment until I know this wasn't pre-election dirty tricking.
That said, his staff bailing on him isn't a good sign.
I was voting for Katie Porter, anyway.

What political leadership we have in America: pedophilic POTUS and sexually over-aggressive men.

One of Eric Swalwell's finer moments in Congress:

Lfthndcuck will, of course, ignore the fact that this will be found unacceptable by the Dems while it would have been a shoulder shrug for Repubs like him.

In any case, where are all the questions like 'why is she speaking out now after so long?' that s*^%bags like you ask every time a Repub is accused of this?

It's only because other Dems are running in this primary. Dems supported KKK dressing gov. Northam. They supported and still support Jay Jones. The party that constantly screams, "They're Nazi's!!!" about Republicans support Graham Platner, who had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for decades. I could go on and on ...

So why don't you STFU, shht stain.

Well, many of you are.

I probably wouldn't vote for anyone with a Nazis tattoo.

I know I won't vote for anyone without a tattoo who behaves like a Nazis.

So please don't run for public office.

You support Nazis by voting for them, carrying water for them and spending your time making excuses for them.

You condone their behavior.

Not every Nazi killed a Jew.

A lot of them normalized the dehumanization of Jews and excused the rounding up of Jews.

Much like you do.

Everyday.

Your use/support of government propaganda. You are quick to jump to defense of murderous ICE agents literally every time they kill someone else. You spread their demonstrably false narratives as quickly as they can fabricate them. You even make up some of our own lies to support the cult of Trump or to detract from the opposition.
Your persecution of transgender people is straight out of the NAZI playbook. You have expressed support barring them from public life through the use of bathroom policies that put their safety at risk. You clearly would have supported how Nazi Germany enforced paragraph 183.

That's just a couple of your Nazi behaviors that quickly jump to mind. There's probably more than I'm not thinking of right now.

So many Nazi behaviors. So little time!

You use propaganda to create a "common enemy" (The Other), you squawk about "fake news" and you join in the "cult of personality" around Trumpy, and you apparently wish your Dear Leader would control education and the media to in order to indoctrinate our youth and even adults. And apparently you support the "White Washing" of history by a facist wannabe dictator.

Its really how blind the Democrat supporters like the Lumpers have become. They can't even look at it for what is really going on.
You mentioned "intelligence" and knowledge as a means to fight propaganda, would you say the Lumpers in the thread are "intelligent"?
I claim they are, they just rationalize their positions as "fighting nazi's", because who wouldn't want to fight nazis.

The real question is why Swalwell is only being asked to drop out of the race? Why now?
All the Nazi talk is a deflection, or what people do with cognitive dissonance.

But they will run around screaming Trump said "grab them by the -----" all day everyday, they can't believe someone central on their team would just whip it out.
So they avoid the issue.

The Democrat party is run by the Elite; this is just an example of how it operates.

Dems don't care who does the electing, so long as they get to do the nominating.

Jeffries, Pelosi and other Democrats call on Eric Swalwell to end governor campaign
www.politico.com

... House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi headlined a growing list of Democratic lawmakers called on Rep. Eric Swalwell Friday to withdraw his campaign for California governor amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

"This extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability," Pelosi said in a statement. "As I discussed with Congressman Swalwell, it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign."

In a joint statement with other elected House Democratic leaders, Jeffries called for a "swift investigation" as well as the end of his pending campaign.

"This is unacceptable of anyone " certainly not an elected official -- and must be taken seriously," the leaders said. ...

Looks like Swalwell could do himself some good by learning even a few of Horst's Manly Man Rules.

Luna moves to oust Swalwell from House over assault allegations
www.newsnationnow.com

... Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) on Saturday said she would file a motion to expel California Rep. Eric Swalwell from office, after the Democrat was hit with sexual assault allegations.

"I am filing a motion to expel Eric Swalwell from Congress," the Republican lawmaker wrote on social platform X. ...

Expulsion is the most serious consequence a member of Congress can face, and it requires a two-thirds majority vote in the House. Only 6 members of the House of Representatives have been expelled in U.S. history -- with former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) being the most recent, after an ethics review found he misused campaign funds and falsified his background. ...

It isn't an accusation if it's an accurate observation.

Are we not to believe he's a Trumper when he constantly condones, deflects for and defends Trump's actions? Considering Trump ticks most of the boxes of a classical fascist, is it not then accurate to say pedoringer is a classical fascist supporter?

If he quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, we're supposed to act like he's what, a cow?

Instead of what, being shot in the face with a shot gun?

Fact is Democrats have integrity and Swalwell is out.

If the women accusing him of rape want to press criminal charges, no one is stopping them.

Meanwhile you pedophile protectors are still denying Trump has committed any wrongdoing at all, ever.

Talk about lumpers.

Eric Swalwell and the Governor's race in CA is a perfect example of the difference between Republicans and Democrats.

Swalwell was the front runner. Doesn't matter. He got credibily accused of sexual assault and now he's lost his endorsements, had his money pulled, and there are loud calls to resign.

Trump should've been done with "grab em by the pussy". Nope. Here we are with Trump's name all in the Epstein files and still President.
