Sure, #Democrats can be shamed into resignation, but is the #DNC or California #Democrat party going to do anything about investigating themselves and the many coverups here? There are many reports of this going on for many years. How are #Dems the party to succeed #Republicans in leadership? Other than the swamp $#!+ on your socks is a little less wet? That is all you got? In the meantime, is your 2026 slogan still "Affordability"? Can Dems look around a little?

This is particularly damning for AOC, Bernie, and the squad who are supposed to be leading the charge on these issues.

@HakeemG I'm not aware that the typical profile of victims of this kind of thing (not so much Bernie) were either actually and really given that charge/mission by anyone, or that that sexual abuse of women should be particularly tagged as "women's work" in politics. You know, maybe minorities variously defined should be free to pursue their talents, so possibly men should be the ones really pressing to hold other men accountable. A general thought there, I'm not referring to you in particular.

@stalbaum

I wasn't suggesting just women, I was suggesting progressives, hence why Bernie was mentioned, but yes other progressive men Ro Khanna, etc... failed too.

@HakeemG I'm a bit more all men, very strange to make it a progressive thing when in fact, it has been a large scale failure of society which is largely enforced only against progressives as more of about hypocrisy than about general human rights. Conservative men have been especially egregious, what with their #incels, men's rights movement types and now open anti-suffragism. But hey, I'm not calling anyone in particular out. #metoo needs a full sweep, wow so much in #maga.

@stalbaum

You asked if the Democrats were going to do anything about the coverups, and I was pointing out that it's disappointing progressives were willing to cover it up.

"but is the #DNC or California #Democrat party going to do anything about investigating themselves and the many coverups here?"

@HakeemG so the #dnc and ca #dem party are progressives? You just outed your sock puppet my friend.

@stalbaum

No silly I meant the progressives in DC that spent years hiding his secret. It's disappointing.

@HakeemG it was all #democrats in #DC (and CA) including #centrist Chuds and you know, arguments like we all have to stay under this tent and be obedient like good #dems. Sure can't break ranks or lose a seat for the length of a special election or a term.

@stalbaum

Not quite sure I understand how that validates progressives staying quiet about sexual assault.

@HakeemG your bad faith arguments are second to none. My words condemn you and other #democrat apologists too:-) Not much reading comprehension needed here, and I know you are literate, so you are deep into the bad faith part. #sockpuppet

@stalbaum

Bad faith arguments? Be specific.

@HakeemG I owe you nothing, your bad faith deserves nothing. Do be clear about that! I'm happy to let anyone with basic reading comprehension sort it out. And to be clear you are in that group, I'm not even being generous or kind on that point.
