Is it me? Franken and Conyers should not resign until we find out what happens with Roy Moore.

If they have to step down, there should be a equal treatment.

Of course, Trump won't resign while he taps into the country's largess for himself and allies.

1. I agree. I don't think any D should leave Congress

until the Rs show everyone what they are.

The Rs will say Franken must have done something worse than chase high school girls since he resigned.

8. Yep. "Franken is so bad - worse than Moore - he had to ADMIT and quit the Senate!"

[Irish_Dem]

9. I don't think our morality should hinge on the morality of GOP sociopaths. nt

[ollie10]

2. Franken should not resign because he has done nothing worthy of resigning

It has nothing to do really with anybody else.

There is just no there there.....

If Moore loses, if Trump resigns......then Franken should still not resign unless we have more credible evidence than we have now,.

[TheBlackAdder]

3. Unless Franken knows something that we don't. Only he would know what's in his skeleton closet.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. Why did Conyers have to resign and not Fraken ? The former still denies all the allegations.

Why wasn't there a hue and cry about Conyers' resignation? I'm not saying what the ultimate disposition of either case should be or should have been but you would have to be blind to not notice the disparity in reactions.

5. What we now have is lame

When we see actual skeletons we can talk.

Until then, what we have is a lynch mob

10. Franken is not new to ratfucking. If he knows it's baseless or Republican fuckery, he'd stay.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes, my thought as well. Would he resign if he was innocent? nt

[mopinko]

12. because there was a settled case, and because it was about

employees.

these franken things do not have any element of abuse of power, imho. abuse of celebrity, maybe, but so far there are no allegations that he had any real power over any of the accusers.
puts it in a different ballpark when you are fucking w someone's livelyhood.

that the only one who has identified herself is a know rw'er doesnt help. at this moment in time, i am suspicious of anyone who wont put their name on it. 1 or 2, maybe, but 7 out of 8? yeah, i smell a rat.

but you are right. only al knows what is in his closet. i think his decisions going forward will tell the tale.

[diva77]

7. There should be an investigation, then based on results, calls for

either remaining or resigning...and not a moment before.

If swiftboating has occurred, there should be swift punishment for that.

[librechik]

11. "they" are in charge, and of course that's what they will get.

all part of the plan

[loyalsister]

13. Roy Moore is not relevant to how our party deals with sexual harassment

Both parties are being challenged. Do we protect maintain a system that protects sexual all forms of sexual predation or do we draw a line and say no more? On their end, do they really support family values? On our side are we a party that supports gender equity and justice?
What they do with their scumbag is their problem. How we react is ours.

14. I disagree with putting Al Franken and John Conyers

....Together as being similar circumstances. Very different situations and scenarios. In addition to the fact that Conyers even paid settlements- Franken has never been accused of something at that level that could be a crime nor charged with a crime.

Also Conyers is in his 80’s and this is also a health related resignation decision.
