what we must NOT do about Franken

[DonCoquixote]

Look, I have been here, and already I have seen venom among Democrats, against Democrats. It does not mater if you like Franken or Gillibrand, or (insert D here), the fact is, the way this will play to the GOP (IF WE LET IT) is that we will rip at each other's faces, especially over an issue of social justice, which is a polite way of seeing the Male Chauvinists will say "see what those witches made us do!" This is the perfect demoralizer for 2018, and gives cover for the evil voodoo that the GOP will do to steal elections, and their Russian comrades too.

My point is not about sex harassment, my point is that the GOP knows we love civil wars. If we allow our anger to cripple people who just happen to be some of the best chances to get Trump out of office, we will have done their work for them again.

It is no accident that many of the women who are already being blasted at DU were threats to Trump, and for that matter, so is Al Franken.

Bottom line, we cannot let democrat fight democrat, especially not now when there is a real war going on. If it does, then people a lot nastier then Sanders (hey Bernie, funny how YOU chimed in quick) will try to ensure we are always divided, and the future generations will be able to curse us as this country become one big waste dump, with the Rich Nobles hunting us for sport.

2. I have one goal..DESTROY THE GOP at no costs!

I am angry, focused and energized. NO DISTRACTIONS! The GOP is trying to distract us from them committing the biggest attack against the future of our country...The TAX SCAM! DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!!!

I am going to say "I TOLD YOU SO" to every member of the American public who chooses to allow the GOP to bring this country down for decades due to this horrendous bill that the Resistance is fighting. IT IS NOT OVER! Yes, we are making the GOP scared...that is why they are doing this and supporting a PEDOPHILE FOR SENATE! Is this shit a COINCIDENCE? FUCK NO...DIRTY GOP TRICKS AGAIN/STILL!

Pressure the GOP, call your reps and use social media to spread the word. If you allow yourself to get distracted then you are willingly aiding the enemy...the greedy, corrupt, amoral, hypocritical bastards who have sold this country and our future to their rich donors. WAKE UP AND FIGHT!

3. There is no point to being here, thats how it will make me feel.

Divided? Too much crap going on from A to Z, and there is no perspective, common sense, street smarts or loyalty being shown.
Time for me to return tor reading fiction.

4. I agree. I've been railing against this but I stopped. I realized that Franken's going to resign.

If not tomorrow, soon. If we investigate and he's found not to be able to make the greatest of defenses it's going to be bad optically.
If after an investigation - Franken stays - and something new arises by one of the accusers or someone else and we keep him, that's going to be brutal optically.

They are going to go with the lesser of the two. What they should do is to hold meetings where they re-examine the standards and the fallout of those standards.

They should have never come out against him like that. They should have let this play out even without an investigation. Either something would have shaken loose in or out of his favor or maybe it would have faded.

Democrats have a lot to do as it is so I'm calming down. The whole thing sucks but we have to keep going.
