Pretty much this. If Assange was slamming Trump, the Ds on here would be wetting themselves with unbridled elation and he'd be their hero. But did you mean Sanders vs Trump? Even if Trump hadn't run, I doubt that Jeb! would've been the nominee.
Assange is the sort of person who prioritizes his own interests, and currently the olive branch from the kremlin is more enticing than anything the US is offering.
Just because you think of the world in simple american partisan terms doesn't mean nobody else is cognizant of the situation's reality.
If I had any feeling they would be hurt.
I think the problem is more a lack of self-worth which can be shamed.
