    That sounds like some extortion. Not exactly something I would want to champion or believe to be a viable political platform

      That… is nothing the fuck like extortion.

      “Vote for me or I’ll release these pictures of you fucking your dog” is extortion.

      “Vote for me because my opponent will make this issue you claim to care about worse” is not.

        “Vote for me or my friend here will kill your dog” is the alleged scenario.

        Though really the person making that threat is also saying they will kill your dog.
