My advice to this lady: stop watching Fox and start thinking about what it could be like for other people who are experiencing similar difficulties. That's called empathy.

If it's good enough that no republican ever quits regardless the crimes they commit - it's good enough for this guy.

Remember Al Franken? Me too. He got screwed over this exact same way.

"That "When they go low, we go high" bullshit gets you curb stomped in elections because the general public doesn't care about this and it blows over fast."

I think he should resign. The only reason not to is if you know it's a smear campaign otherwise it's going to come out eventually.

However republicans calling for his resignation is the pot calling the kettle black.

That "When they go low, we go high" bullshit gets you curb stomped in elections because the general public doesn't care about this and it blows over fast. They held themselves to higher standards and one of the best Senators resigned over a decades old photo while on a comedy tour. This is a political war. Both sides are as much puppets of corporations but when you try to show off for being righteous, you resign and lose power. One party is in this for pure power and when they wield it, it only helps out the elites.

Its easy to get upset when you dont understand what you are talking about

Convicted and accused are different things.

Except legally, its not. So you are wrong

Then the courts will take care of it and your pissing and moaning is unnecessary

Good.

>No one should resign over allegations alone.

I thought both Clinton and donnie dumpster fire should have resigned based solely on credible allegations. I also think legislators who have credible allegations of physical abuse lodged against them should resign. We need to have some minimum standard beyond "infamous crime."

>Until everyone resigns no one should.

Under your theory, until every murderer is convicted of murder no one should be convicted.

Not sure that's how it is supposed to work.

A man in full self-loathing mode.

Provide a citation for your premise.

I think being humiliated online, where it seems her whole life is spent, is the real punishment

Also, racism is bullshit and racists are trash people and objectively awful

But it shouldnt be illegal to be mean

portguy79, They are quoting lyrics from a 1980's Billy Joel song. It is titled Allentown and it talks about changing times as Bethlehem Steel was shutting down. Everyone knew someone that worked at Bethlehem Steel and the changes it brought broke the hearts of some.

And you are right, the area has bounced back and is booming. Like any metropolis, we have "good" areas and "not so good" areas.

Yeah its a good case study for how stupid the internet community actually is. Similar in summary to the Boston Bombers this idiot site mistakenly misidentified

That said, low quality internet slueths are a problem. "Cancel culture" is not.

Anyone who unironically uses the words/phrases "woke" or "cancel culture" are objectively idiots, and likely closet bigots (afraid of being "caught")

High or decent quality education isn't a right in the United States, so they cannot do that.

Freedom of religion, separation between church and state, and freedom of speech are established and protected rights in the United States with legal precedent.

It's cheaper to threaten to sue and have the issue resolved than to immediately sue.
