There's one or two bits of good news for Democrats and the country, then there's some bad news about a democrat and instead of backing or supporting them, they are vilified by dems, screeching like reTHUGliCONS, for the dem to resign no matter what the evidence, or lack of evidence.
The reTHUGliCON/GOP/Right Wing nutters are playing the dems while laughing all the way to the polls to elect a White House endorsed pedophile in Alabama.
I may not be making much sense but that's because I'm
JUST. SO. DAMN. PISSED.
And yes, I've written to any and all dems about how I feel. I'm not one bit shy about doing that.

(590 posts)I'm as angry as you are. We need to figure out how best to channel that anger.

(785 posts)Talk to some family and divorce lawyers sometime. Ask them if it happens. Do we think there are no conservative women who would grossly exaggerate an ambiguous or even non existent event to bring down a liberal politician if they were promised financial support and legal funding by anonymous Republican donors? Or if they were just hungry for a little attention? Because they know they will be worshipped by Trump zombies.
Those things happen and people will lie for money and attention. And the fucking Republicans are not above promoting it. Ask Bill Clinton. While I believe he was a total cad to women, I also believe his accusers were well compensated and at least some of them were making it up, exaggerating or leaving out key details.
I am sick of this self immolation by the Democratic party. These allegations on Franken don't have a tenth of the odiousness of Moore and Trump's behavior and they seem to be almost forgotten in the urgency to "purify" our party. Franken may be guilty but I am doubting most of the stories now.
Ban me. Mute this post if you have to. But we need to emphasize what the differences between the allegations about Trump, Moore and Franken are and wait for Franken's ethics commission before we throw him to the wolves.
But of course, we won't.

I'm tired of dems taking the "high road".
They need to get into the dirt and the weeds.
Maybe they could pretend that the rethugs are dems?
