really though, it'd be so gratifying to see half as much anger directed at silicon valley libertarians and our loving campaign industrial complex as we direct at the dang ruskies

The reactions to th Franken thing are especially telling because the worry of many of the people defending him is that this poo poo is super common in DC among powerful men of both parties.

yeah, this isn't even so much about Franken as it is about the fears that if dems start to act on abuse (which is undoubtedly rampant in both parties) it will put them at a structural disadvantage because the GOP will not behave in kind. I don't think that's a good excuse, it's cynical as hell and basically ties feminism to the success of the democratic party in a really uncomfortable way that will almost certainly backfire in the long term

the real problem here is that franken is very much the tip of the iceberg. how many dem senators and reps have been abusing their pages and interns? probably a hella lot. they just don't have pictures of it cause they weren't in show business. that doesn't mean they shouldn't burn for it but thats why dem politicians are getting this hypocritical treatment. its tribalism yes but its also a knowingness that this goes way way farther than what frankin did

i dont have a problem with the idea of mandatory investigations in these cases, if thats what we're talking about. except I'm not sure they would have any teeth, and if they did, it would probably end up being seen as a partisan thing depending on the score of how many of each party's people were found to be acting inappropriately. also it seems like its only one of many things that can and should be done. rooting out the abuse in dc is gonna be next to impossible but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying, regardless of the short term consequences that might result in the gop's favor (but i'm not even convinced that would happen)

I don't think a senate investigation would have any teeth because a hella lot of senators are probably up to sexual impropriety and don't want any kind of precedent set regarding this. The ones who aren't are still complicit cause they totally know what's going on. Maybe history will prove me wrong? but I doubt it.

i do think there is probably something to the fact that sanders calls himself a socialist and warren calls herself a capitalist, and those labels do reflect their worldviews in ways that might not always show up in senate votes or even proposed policy. but i might be wrong
