Please, if you want Dems to win in 2018 then let's move on from the Franken debacle and put it behind us.
We are facing an existential threat to our democracy.
We are facing the possibility of a Republican takeover that leads to fascism.
We must work to elect Dems in 2018.
Look to the future and get out the vote!
We have more important things to worry about right now.
For starters let's make sure Mueller is protected and can finish his work.
2018 can be a Blue Wave election if we make it happen.
Hang together so we don't hang separately.

(36,926 posts)I'll vote for the Democrat every time, but I will NOT actively support this assault on a person's right to due process. The mob forced Franken out and I will never forget each and every one of them.
I respect the fact that it hurts, and that its unfair. But if you want to honor Al think about what he would do. He wouldnt tell you to check out of the fight for our countrys future in this most critical time He said as much when he said that he believed in Minnasota voters.
Letting your anger divide us now is not the good for any of us. People who want to lash out at leadership say that they havent learned from 2016 - but its not up to them who wins seats. They are our representation sure, but they are just one vote when it counts in elections. Its on all of us to win and to do that we must VOTE. And the best option is still far and away voting Democratic

(36,926 posts)You make an excellent point by mentioning what Franken would want us to do now.
I know he wants to move on and work for a better future for all Americans.

(36,424 posts)Do you know why we are facing the possibility of a Republican takover that could lead to fascism? Because the dems have not been a true opposition party for 35+ years. They have cowered when confronted with the word liberal. They are afraid of the big bad liberal media. Iran-contra. The Bill Clinton witch hunt. The SCOTUS theft of a presidential election. The WMD lie. The questionable Ohio results in 2004. The theft of a SCOTUS nom in 2016. Gee, I wonder where the GOP got the idea they could get away with murder? Democratic leadership jettisoned one of our best bulldogs. Who will the GOP target next, now that they know they just need a few anonymous claims & the dems will do the dirty work for them?
