With all things being fair, our Democrats in virginia should step down

[Horse with no Name]

But. All things are not fair.
Republicans never concede defeat.
So where does that leave us?
With republicans in charge who do as much or worse than Democrats.
It is just flat sickening.

1. Apparently the Republican in line was the editor of a yearbook filled with racist photos.

Maybe they should just say to hell with it and hold a round of elections ASAP. What a mess. The racist Republicans are no better than the racist Democrats so the governor might as well stay put.

2. I can see it now. All three Dems resign, the R is appointed, ,

immediately faces very similar accusations of racist activity and/or sexual abuse, denies and voices outrage and anger about such partisan, frivolous and entirely false allegations, and serves 46 months as Governor. Franken-Kavanaughed again.

3. One of these guys is not like the others.

One is a weaselly former Republican who won't take responsibility for an act of stupid bigotry; one is a (possible) sexual predator who needs to be investigated; one is a guy who committed a similar but less extreme act of stupid bigotry (I make allowances for being younger and not putting it in an effing yearbook), apologized before being called out, seems sincerely remorseful and has tried to MAKE UP FOR IT ever since (according to him, I grant you).

That third one--Herring--is exactly the kind of person we want in office.
