(658 posts)Also, something no one wants to hear: if we don't discern ourselves as morally polar opposite of Trump & the Republicans, we run the risk of the average voter cynically thinking, "both parties are the exactly the same" This is what the republicans want. They want to whataboutism, gaslight, and sow so much chaos, that Americans are confused, disillusioned, and checked out.
This is exactly why Northam and Fairfax MUST go. As should Hyde-Pierce, McConnell, Trump, Kavanaugh, etc. etc. The former may. The latter won't until they are voted out or impeached. That's what we face.
But if the Dems fall into the "I'm tired of the political correctness! Why do we have to draw a line when they won't!" trap, we have nothing to hang our hat on.
Northam should go, but currently it looks like he won't and may skate by. Fairfax should be investigated and then go, because both women seem very credible, unconnected, and Watson has receipts. I don't care about who's representing whom. Take the tinfoil hats off. The legs are there, and we should ALL be appalled and demand he go unless he comes up with receipts himself (which he could, so we should wait long enough to see what his defense is).
We're better than them, there are more of us, and we don't need to get into the trough with them, especially on these very sensitive and important issues.
