Obama decided not to prosecute Assange because it was too much of an attack on freedom of the press. Trump reversed that decision and Biden sides with Trump. Our major political parties are mere shells of their former selves.

Um so not acting in lockstep with party every time is a bad thing? I thought the tribalism was the problem.

hardly. 🤨 Obama has made his strongest condemnation yet of WikiLeaks, as supporters of Julian Assange demonstrated for his release. The US President ''expressed his regrets for the deplorable action by WikiLeaks'', the White House said.

Well Asante was working with the Russians and coordinating with the propaganda machine, so there is that.

Assange isn’t a journalist and Wikileaks was used to traffic hacked documents in 2016.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Obama likely only didn’t because he thought Hillary was coming in to do it for him.

Many things Biden says are in substance the same things Trump said, but more subtle and backed up by a better understanding of how our government works.

They are what they always have been. It's just too hard to look the other way, now.

Biden also refuses to reverse Trump’s genocidal Cuba sanctions or forgive any student debt or raise the minimum wage. Biden is a joke

There should be no party only policy
