One “scandal” and he
resignsdrops out. Reminds me of Al Franken. The best ones with actual principles fall on the sword. I’m not super opposed so long as the replacement Democrat candidate still wins I guess. But whoever that is will likely be further right which sucks.The Democratic party is useless.
Thinking about it, it’s probably not a terrible move on his part, overall. Dems can probably retain the governorship and this frees him to do other things. His replacement is probably worse, but it’s not like he’s retiring (although with how awful people are to him and his family, taking a break might be a good personal move… he has compassion and the attacks on his family probably really hurt).
Ah yes, like Al Franken
That’s a bummer to bring up. Except he admitted to what he did (which by 2025 standards is super benign) and felt shame over it. I don’t get the same sense here. What did Franken end up doing anyway? Podcasting?

It was fucking benign back then too. Democrats just have no will to fight, and would rather SaVe ThE dIgNiTy Of ThE pArTy and resign instead of actually pushing back against republican smear campaigns.
I hate that they are our best option.
