Should Eric Swalwell drop out of the California gubernatorial race?

45. I think whatever evidence there is

needs to be released and quickly. Or at least some of it. If he is guilty of any part of this, he needs to drop out, absolutely.

The reason I am cautious about everyone rushing to burn Swalwell at the stake is because even if he is guilty, look at how FAST people are rushing to condemn him and try to force him out of the race and out of office, without a single piece of evidence being offered, without even 24 hours to investigate.

The governor of California is a huge, powerful position.

Now imagine that republicans (who control a huge share of the media) and billionaire oligarchs (who supported Trump the last time around) see how well this worked to take out Swalwell, whether the charges are legit or not, and decide, hmmm, wouldn't it be interesting if we see who the frontrunner is in the 2028 democratic primary, and take them out right before voting starts?

Then we get a nominee no one is enthusiastic about, and they wait until weeks before the general, and do the same thing again.

And because we've trained ourselves to rush in and say pull the plug, whereas republicans will vote for their candidate no matter what, we get screwed. Again.
