41. So protecting a guy who sexually harasses women is necessary to win, and we want to win, don't we?

We should throw all our principles out the window, and our most necessary and consistent voter base under the bus, because a guy couldn't help himself from sexually harassing women, and we like what that guy says.

I get it. I get that Franken is more important than standing up against harassers among our own rank. I get that women should just shut up, and live with being forcibly kissed, groped, and laugh when he jokes about it in the form of pictures. We shouldn't care that it is rank rape apologia when it's defending a guy whose politics we like. After all, we should only condemn sexual harassers if they're Republicans, don'tcha know.

And we need to rank it too. Right now, groping and other sexual harassment isn't as bad as raping someone, and raping a woman isn't as bad as raping a child. And if necessary (that is, if another Democratic male politician we like is accused of it), we'll move the hurdle and say that raping a woman isn't as bad as raping a child, so Roy Moore we can safely condemn, but a Democrat? No, never.


I am so fucking disappointed in DU lately. Too many sound like repukes when it comes to their so-called progressive heroes who turns out to have feet of clay.
