Time's Up was an effort to rehabilitate Hollywood's image immediately post-MeToo. With so many people apparently complicit in in the abuse of women, something had to be done, so a non-profit was created. I am sure some of the celebrities that wore those pins and supported the organization did so with good intentions, but a lot of them did so for the collective benefit of whitewashing the industry as a whole. Of course, being in Hollywood and managed by people adjacent to the entertainment industry, you had many of those same enablers at the helm. Naturally, they were Democrats, so many of them helped Democrats try to whitewash their histories. That's where the typical grift of non-profit executives making a killing started to come undone. Also, we can't really ignore how damaging MeToo has been to the Democratic Party. While Republicans can safely ignore allegations against them, knowing full well that their voters do not care, Democratic voters care a bit more and the extend to which Democratic politicians they can ignore these claims is entirely proportional to their perceived importance to the future of the party. As we witnessed, part of what Time's Up did was attempt to rescue some of these marginal figures. At least, they did it with Cuomo.
