But execute Al Franken over this now and what are you saying to the many men (and women including his accuser strangely enough) about their chances at redemption?
What does this say to women (and men) who have some other grudge and may want to use fake charges of ass grabbing against another?
What does this say about fundamental understandings of fairness or due process?
Since when has the preferred party of feminists believed in redemption for "toxic" men, acknowledged that women sometimes lie, or ever given a flying fuck about due process?
"But it's different when we do it!" - Should probably be the official party platform.
if you really believe that what you're trying to do politically is right and good for people, isn't it selfish to martyr yourself for some brownie points by resigning rather than being seen as an asshole but trying to do what you think would benefit millions of other people?
Isn't it, if you truly believe that your job is to improve the lives of 300 million people? Isn't the selfless thing to keep doing that, not do anymore awkward sexual shit, and just take the hate? Same goes for Roy Moore, why should he drop out if he hypothetically believes that what he's doing on the job is good for his entire state and country?
Washington Post went looking for anyone that would tell them what they wanted to hear and given Moore is a former prosecutor and judge he has a lot of enemies.
that says Moore was banned from the mall for harassing underage girls, her brother was prosecuted on drugs charges by Moore. The mall manager says it never happened.
this is why dems are on the right side of history here. Let the republicans have their little tactical victories, but its liberals who ALWAYS get the last laugh- cause society becomes more progressive as time marches on.
Actually while the idea certainly applies to Rome as reflected in Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy's histories, there are much old and much more recent examples.
He's actually right based on a model first observed in the classical period that has held true since. The American system of government is in a large part based on the idea.
Though "more progressive" isn't the term I'd use. Look into Aristotle's six types of government and the accompanying cycle.
Because progressive is the completely incorrect word to use. It's entropy and atrophy. Progressive vs conservative politics isn't very relevant here, and more to do with his last sentence.
I can't even get fast food without some dude telling a story these days about "how this homo nigga fart in he gay boy's butt and made a double fart" or something so I dunno if that is true or not but one day I hope for a sexless star trek next gen future.
Did Data make some wacky faux pas by misinterpreting a cultural construct that ended up getting him just a little bit closer to understanding the human condition?
These people are fucking delusional if they think the party of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton is taking the high road here rather than making a political calculation based on next week's special election.

You're oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion.

Is this an alternate reality version of politics?
Since when has the preferred party of feminists believed in redemption for "toxic" men, acknowledged that women sometimes lie, or ever given a flying fuck about due process?

Does it work that way when it is a minority opinion?
1 stevemisor 2017-12-06
They seem to want to be rewarded for "doing the right thing" a lot
Isn't one of the points of doing the right thing is you may not end up on top?
1 444455555666666 2017-12-06
doesn't that go the other way around too, though?

It isn't selfless to keep your job and assault women.

No, not resigning only saves his own ass. There are other politicians that will replace him that don't assault people. He is a criminal not a martyr.
1 444455555666666 2017-12-06
but you, hypothetically as a politician, believe you are the best person for the job who can do the most good for the most people
1 CirqueDuFuder 2017-12-06
Right it is just a dude that is self righteous, delusional, and fill of pride. He can be replaced.
1 wwyzzerdd 2017-12-06
Replace 'niggas' with 'liberals'.
1 mohkohnsepicgun 2017-12-06
Watch any Bob Ross program and replace "trees" with "niggers" and "blue" with "prostitute's liquid shit".

Moore is even worse
He tries to throw the bible in your face while he does it
1 wwyzzerdd 2017-12-06
Some people refuse to learn the immutable word of God. Thus it is sometimes necessary to impact the mind with the truth.
1 glmox 2017-12-06
he tries to put a lot more than that in your face if youre the right age
1 rgenri 2017-12-06
The allegations against Moore are shakey at best.
Washington Post went looking for anyone that would tell them what they wanted to hear and given Moore is a former prosecutor and judge he has a lot of enemies.
Like the former cop Faye Gary

/u/sausage_ditka_bulls You should go outside one day. Like, if only for an hour or so.

Societies become more progressive until they abruptly stop being societies.
The only thing that’ll get the last laugh is human nature.

1 TheJum 2017-12-06
I️t has happened many times.
Societies become less cohesive, and then fall like a house of cards due to threats within and without.
1 froibo 2017-12-06
Hahaha when? The Ottoman empire?
1 TheJum 2017-12-06
The Roman Empire is probably the best example.
1 froibo 2017-12-06
Uh huh, and which of their progressive policies lead to their down fall?
1 TheJum 2017-12-06
It’s less a specific policy and more about just social stress and loss of cohesion.
If you are the kind who likes reading about history, Rome in general is just a good mine.
1 froibo 2017-12-06
Okay name a bunch of policies then because so far you have made no connection besides I said so.
1 D4ddyDr4m4 2017-12-06
Too much immigration from the Nazis (in part) led to Rome's downfall. Anti-fa tried to crush them but they got out-memed at Adrianople
1 froibo 2017-12-06
Seriously, is there an influx in the number of these morons today or am I just trying to hard to fill /u/pizzashill 's shoes?

Go read a book and educate yourself

Oh I wasn't being sarcastic, I actually thought it was an interesting thought so I upvoted and left a comment.
Sometimes, the best way of being an edgy asshole is not being edgy at all
1 DoctorFahrenheit 2017-12-06
Oh, I wasn't raised right so I'm just an asshole all the time. Soyboy.

LOL Star Trek the Next Generation had an episode where Ryker basically turned a space lesbian straight and she had to be re educated by her planet.
1 menvaren 2017-12-06
It was the beard.
1 wwyzzerdd 2017-12-06
That's the reason Ryker isn't allowed on TV anymore.
