(58,347 posts)Because too many of our dems in congress are fucking cowards.
When they had the majority in Obama's first year, they were afraid to pass anything because it might make the Republicans feel sad.
Now that one of their own is accused, however completely bullshit it looks, they're afraid and so they throw him under the bus without an actual investigation, when what they should do is 1) demand and investigation, and 2) demand that they will not force Franken to resign unless the investigation proves positive and/or not until the GOP forces sex assaulter Donald out of office.
If Franken's "assaults" are enough to take a Senator down, then Donald's scare-quote-free assaults absolutely make him unfit for office.
Take a stand, dems, and give Franken the investigation he deserves.
It's this kind of cowardly bullshit that pisses me off about dems (and sometimes my fellow progressives in general). Grow some goddamn spine, you fucks.
