For decades, women have kept silent and anonymous for exactly what you're accusing them of. Why should they put their name out there. You've already called them a liar and a whore.
I hope Al Franken steps down. He did this to himself. His apology was very heartfelt and I do believe it. I also think despite this shit he's done, he still has a fragment of character left within him. If he resigns, it's because he wants to do right by his accusers, by his party, his state and for the country. He can't effectively serve in the senate and he knows it.
Plus, I think he will admit to a lot of this, give the kind of apology that everyone will know came from the heart.
He may be on his way out, but he'll get a bit of redemption in the process, IMO.
