Stickman posted:Did your "nothing matters" predictions of "the political realities" include realistically fact-based reasons to believe that both the #2 and #3 people in line would have enough of their own skeletons to force them to resign? If not, you were just a broken clock. I'm not talking about how many people in Virgina's leadership are fans of blackface or are rapists. My point was that if Northram didn't want to resign all he had to do was ride it out until the national media moved onto the next thing and that it was silly to say it was over and done and he was gone. I had no idea the next scandal would involve the next 2 people who could become Virginia governor, I figured Trump would just poop himself again or something. My only point was that good things seldom happen and premature smugness and celebration isn't realistic. friendbot2000 posted:Northam is going to resign, there is no question of that. Sigh.

And the silver lining here is that if these folks actually end up resigning, we'll at least cement the zero-tolerance policy for after-the-fact revelations of racism/rape/sexual assault, which is a very good thing in the long-term.

friendbot2000 posted:Because the Establishment hates Lee Carter because he constantly calls them on their poo poo, is a general thorn in their side pulling them to the left, and was an upset candidate so I don't think they are going to send resources his way. Danica Roem is a trans woman and I shouldn't have to explain that one to you, even in her district. Lee Carter won’t get much/any support from the party, but he’ll get support from labor. He’s shown up for the working folks both legislatively and physically. His presence at the A12 anti-Nazi rally, just as a man, not as a dude in a suit, will always be something I remember. And for anyone who ever shows up for grassroots things, I’ll bet they have stories similar to mine. If it’s real and it’s important, he’ll show up. It’s hard to ignore that kind of force. Roem is a different sort, because she focuses so well on policy and keeping her message tight. I can see her coming in hot to a statewide race. I believe in her.

I'm all for him resigning, but if he chooses not to I don't know what his party not liking him really matters. I'm kinda repeating myself here, but the next election isn't for 2 years. Some posters argued that his party won't work with him, but really? They're going to deadlock themselves in the legislature so he can't sign bills? Seems unlikely. They could impeach but that always seemed unlikely since that's a bold whole thing. So basically the only way for Northram to go away is if he decides it's the ethical thing to do. So it comes down to the wise judgement of a dude who almost broke out a moonwalk at his blackface apology press conference. Now impeachment is probably off the table. AND the heat is kinda off him because his Lt Governor apparently raped a woman. So... probably a tough reelection campaign, but who knows. I don't see him resigning, though.

I don't remember hearing him use it before MeToo, which makes me suspect he's co-opting that language to make himself seem like a victim.

As long as he finished the statement with "And I resign and will work hard in other roles to make up for what I've done" that'd be great. It's obvious he truly doesn't give a poo poo aside from how it affects his political career. Fritz Coldcockin posted:He can't run for reelection.

Didn't Trump take out a full page ad in the Times demanding the Central Park Five be executed even after they'd been exonerated? Seems a bit worse than blackface imo.
