Can the Democratic Party disapprove of something/someone and also not give up power?

101. A big difference that I think has been overlooked

Is that Democrats’ policy positions, initiatives, voting records, etc., have been much more favorable toward women, people of color, disabled persons, the poor and lower income Americans, etc., than have Republicans’. Northam is no exception since he has been in office.

These good acts can not justify wrongdoing, obviously. But there is a world of difference between a politician who recently and without remorse engaged in wrongdoing, and who has worked to benefit the privileged, etc., vs. someone who recognized a past bad act, has not done it recently, and has worked consistently for good. And in this case, we do not even know for certain whether Northam was in the photo or was aware it had been placed on his page.

As a VA voter, I want us to slow down, investigate, then address what we find.
