I find it a bit odd that my boy Al Franken has to step down for a PHOTOGRAPH from 20 years ago immediately - no "special master" - no "jury" - just step on down. But their side gets to grab women by the ***** and never gets any sort of punishment or comeuppance?

Franken should never have resigned. Cuomo should not have resigned. Democrats need to stop with this BS "we go high, they go low" game - that's how you lose power.

He should not have stepped down.

Franken never should've stepped down. It was a giant nothing-burger, while as Republicans straight up commit crimes and not only stay in office, but win re-election.

I'm biased because he was my senator, but I think were it not for his scandals, he would be president right now.

Al Franken is like the only real example of someone in politics being "canceled" and it was a stupid ass reason lol.

Exactly. Well said to all.

Al Franken doesnt even care this much.

If youre not comfortable walking away from it any point you should definitely not be elected to any position of political power.

You're saying that behind closed doors, Franken has not complained to people that he had to resign for a photo while GOPers can molest girls (Matt Gaetz) or attempt Insurrection (Donald Trump) and still have their political future intact?

EXACTLY, thank you.

And that is my POINT here in this very topic: Why does THEIR SIDE not have to walk away or be thrown out -- but MY SIDE has to freakin' resign? From a PHOTO? And walk away? And according to divot1338 Franken should just be happy about it and whistle on his way?

Because dem voters have principles and wont vote for shit tier candidates

republicans dont care how vile their candidates are because theyll vote for anyone with an R next to their name(or whoever daddy Trump tells them to vote for)

Al Franken is not a "shit their" candidate and could have been President, I believe. Had the charisma - was tall - had the Democratic support.

All that wasted...because of a PHOTO from the early 00's. Wow. Democrats are a joke.

Meanwhile Trump admits to grabbing women by the ***** and becomes the most powerful man alive.

There was no practical way for Al Franken to have been forced to be removed from the Senate. If he wanted to, he could likely remained Senator for the rest of his term.

And Republican politicians are garbage human beings. Obviously theyre going to do the most horrible thing in any given situation.

Why do you hate Franken and Cuomo so much? Do you love the GOP or something?

Franken wasn't forced out in a literal sense. He would need to be impeached which would require a Senate super majority. Highly doubtful this would happen for various reasons.

Yeah, but he decided "We go high, they go low" and left instead. Which goes back to my original post:

"When they don't give up power, you give it all up"

Is that what you are saying? Democrats should just give up power and let the GOP do whatever?

NO
