But the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution has expired in many if not all cases. You know all this. You also know that voters chose a sexual predator as president, probably for the same reasons many want to give Cuomo a pass.

Cuomo isn't going to be prosecuted, and his ego is too enormous for him to resign. He will probably be re-elected because misogyny rules this nation. So let's not pretend he's being terribly put upon. Some people find his behavior unacceptable, but too many see nothing wrong with it. So don't worry. He won't face any consequences, as men seldom do. We're not facing a situation in which women's lives actually matter. And that any other public employee would be fired for the same behavior likewise doesn't matter in a world when maintaining power and hierarchy is so important. One thing is it not is Democratic--or democratic. It's imperious.

We live in a society in which only 6 percent of rapists ever see jail time. Cuomo isn't a rapist, but that fact sheds light on why men like him don't face consequences.

BTW, the Trump excuse is a transparent canard. Just because one predator got away with it doesn't mean all should, which is precisely what you are arguing.
