How do Democrats ever win elections? Do you see Republicans commenting to disagree on lovely Reagan things when prompted (lol at them even being asked). Do De Blasio and Gillibrand now want to send back the Clintonite money that they are getting to this day? Maybe someone should ask them and see.

I mean set aside the substance of the question and ask yourself if someone trying to accomplish something of substance in this country as a Democrat should even be talking about it.

What kind of horrible person do you have to be to want to vote Democratic but refuse because Democrats start to come to terms with our rapist former leaders?

Like I said earlier in this thread. They are being pushed by the existing narrative of sexual harassment by people of power.

Good amount of the people here talking about horrible men are with sexual harassment probably defended Clinton back then.

There are very few in the world with clean hands when it comes to this stuff as much as certain people would like to believe it to be true. All humans are enablers for humanities wickedness because we are inherently all humans.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Also, I was like four years old when that happened. The only thing I was defending at that point in time was how much better Digimon was than Pokemon, which is still true: Digimon is a lot better.

Anyways definitely a special election, just a quick look at the law suggests the Gov is required to call a special election even if the replacement will only be sitting for a few months before the general election.

So unless he resigns in like August there would be a special election.

Rashida Talib- Former State House Rep, idk much about her but apparently good progressive bonafides, would be nice to see a woman replace ol grabby

Less than that-when McCotter resigned they ended up having the special election the same day as the general election, so the replacement only ended up serving for six weeks.

Not in the least. There is no apology for rape. But we're not talking about rape right now we're talking about sexual harrasment in the workplace which is even separate from sexual assault - which Roy Moore did do.


You have to realize there's a big step up from each of these: sexual harassment in public to sexual harrasment in the workplace to sexual harrasment by someone in power in the workplace to sexual assault and rape.

Of the least of these Sexual Harrasment in public and the workplace a lot of people are guilty of partaking in.

Not me though. Not that specific crime. But I won't claim I'm perfect.

In a 2014 Kansas City Star opinion piece entitled "What's the matter with Paul Krugman?"

After substantial factual errors were uncovered in Moore's opinion piece, the Kansas City Star indicated that it would no longer print Moore's work without "thorough factchecking."

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

quote:

Elizabeth Warren Dodges Question On Whether Al Franken Should Resign Over Harassment Allegations


On Monday night, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) appeared on The Late Show and was asked about what should happen to her colleague Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), who has been dogged with sexual harassment accusations.

During her second segment of her interview, Stephen Colbert brought up the national conversation of sexual harassment and how Franken, who he said he “long admired” both as a comedian and as a politician, was swept up in recent allegations.

“People are calling on Al Franken to step down, do you think he should?” Colbert asked.

Despite give a very lengthy response, she didn’t exactly answer the question.

“I was just enormously disappointed about this,” Warren began. “I knew Sen. Franken long before he was Sen. Franken and his wife Franni. These allegations are serious, and women have a right to be heard and listened to on this. Al is going to be subjected to a hearing in the United States Senate and an investigation. We have had, for a long time now in the Senate, long before I got there, a bipartisan ethics committee that meets on a regular basis, and he’s going to go in and answer.”

She then went on to address the culture of “famous men” as a whole without circling back to his question.

Colbert then moved on to her position on GOP Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore and whether or not he should be expelled if he were elected.

“We’re not there yet,” she responded. “We’re still pre-election and I think we have a really good candidate on the Democratic side and the people of Alabama need to get out there an I hope they support that Democratic candidate.”

Watch the clip above, via CBS.

What goddamn world are you living in where victims of sexual assault finally having the courage to come forward and change the conversation around the issue is equivalent to or worse than the communism witch hunt?
