Oddbean new post about login | logout If Trump doesn't win the only person I'll truly feel bad for is Ross Ulbricht
even if trump wins. change my mind
I mean there's zero chance he is freed by anyone else. The chance is much higher than zero with Trump.
Sad state of affairs when people have to effectively beg one guy who *promises* to release someone unjustly imprisoned, while no one else is interested.
It truly is
I already feel bad for Ross & just lost interest in the mess! it's exhausting so i pass after too long wasting my time!
The only chance for him to be freed, is if trump wins and keeps his word. There's no other reason to vote that will make much difference, imo. I also already feel bad for Ross, just hope he has a future.
Would be a big dick move if Joe Biden pardoned him on the way out.
Not at all. I hope he does it. that would be amazing. I don't care how it happens. He just deserves his freedom.
Quiero que gane Trump solo por Ross
It's probably the only reason that actually makes a real difference in someone's life, imo.
100% they give the man hope nothing worse then seeing that shattered. I think Trump wins and liberal cities start rioting. I am hoping for a landslide so there is no arguing or debating who won 🙏. If Trump does win and he doesn't release Ross on day 1, I want to see massive noise being made until they release him. Imagine Ross on Nostr working on marketplaces in 2025 💜
If Trump were to free Ross at all it wouldn't be until the end of its term on his way out And extremely unlikely he'd do it then either
I don't have much faith in him to actually do it either. Would be cool if he did though.
He said he’d do it “on day one” so we’ll know fairly quickly what type of liar he is
That is a straight up lie Or I believe they're referred to "campaign promises" There is no incentive for him to do it (for what, maybe 10k crypto freaks) and let the Dems paint him as soft on crime for his entire term
Counterpoint, he won't be running for reelection and the opinions of his enemies don't really matter. There are a hundred other things he can do to shore up his legacy before he's done.
Being a narcissist everything revolves around his public perception. particularly being perceived as strong. He won't do anything that gives an opportunity to portray him as weak in any way. There are hundred things he CAN do but there are a lot more things that are less risky with more benefit. I really hope I'm wrong though 😕
Absolutely, the only potential silver lining out of these elections ✨ #FreeRoss 🏴☠️
