And he still won -- mainly because a lot of people didn't "vote against" someone like him getting into office by voting "for" the Presidential candidate who didn't brag about sexual assault.
People who really "care" step up and stop this kind of thing from happening instead of pointing the finger at everyone else but themselves.
You and Mets can make excuses all day -- but Trump remains the result of your virtual apathy in the face of racism, sexism, and Islamophobia.

It's like saying "The guy didn't stand up to Democratic Party crookedness and ineptitude by voting against HRC."
Not voting for you is one less vote for that sort of thing.
For instance...
- "Bad Enough Not To Earn A Vote."
and
- "Easily Band Enough Not To Earn A Vote."
are not equal even though they are both bad enough that you will not vote for either of them.
12 months into Trump's term.
Still bitching that Democrats nominated Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Sounds about right for 30.
his argument is that 30 didn't vote. at all.
thus according to aja, 30 is responsible through inaction.
me though? i voted for hil, simply because i saw the kind of man trump is and didn't want him to be in power with that kind of mindset and personality.
and boy, was i right in thinking that.

When it came out that Bob Livingston, a Congressman who was very close to becoming Speaker of the House during the Lewinski scandals, had had an affair, he announced his plans to resign, and called on Bill Clinton to do the same.

Nothing came of that.
A conservative blogger for Hot Air did have some interesting speculation that Franken's statement about resigning in the next few weeks was a way to allow him to reverse course after Moore's likely election.
It seems like it would be a difficult thing to walk back, though.Despite their momentary ardor for cleansing Congress of creeps, rank-and-file Democrats won’t like that one bit. Why does their guy have to go when the Republicans’ guy doesn’t? He’s confessed to nothing, even in the course of resigning. Congressional Democrats will be leery too, having set a relatively low bar for disqualifying misconduct in making an example of Franken. No violent assaults, no examples of workplace harassment, some groping which Franken himself insists was innocent contact, and no process for determining the credibility of the allegations. Some Dems will inevitably be accused of worse than what Franken has been accused, possibly in the next few weeks before he’s left the chamber, and the party will have no choice but to push them out too to honor the Franken precedent.
Do they really want to tie their own hands that way? When Roy Moore is in the Senate giving floor speeches?
The obvious question arises: Did Franken delay his exit from the Senate this morning because he thinks the political winds are about to change rapidly, in time for him to withdraw his resignation? And if so, did the “brave” Democrats who pushed him yesterday to resign do so knowing that Franken would leave himself a few extra weeks until after Alabama votes, time enough to walk back his resignation under more favorable political circumstances? It’d be unbelievably cynical if Schumer et al. pounded the table for Franken to go expecting that he wouldn’t have to follow through if Moore is elected. Franken could give another floor speech in a few weeks insisting that after having deliberated further and listened to the many, many, many Republicans chanting “the people have spoken” in defense of Moore, the only proper thing for him to do is to let the people of Minnesota render their own verdict on him in 2020. In the meantime he’ll fully comply with the ethics committee’s investigation into his behavior, just as Moore will be expected to do.
What specific policies do you want to see on racial profiling that are important enough to make being a single issue voter the only moral decision.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mets
This is a difference than a man having an affair that became public rather than a man who is a pedophile. I mean honestly Moore should step down. Republicans are absolute garbage right now.
