7. I don't see it that way

But I hear you.

I'm saying that from 10000 feet up the arguments from both sides seem similar. Everyone is convinced that the other side is manufacturing the accusations. It is hard for Democrats to say "of course we aren't manufacturing accusations regarding Moore, but you damn well bet the accusations toward Franken are manufactured!"

Should Al resign? Probably not yet but if any of these accusations are true then he should. The moral high ground is necessary to maintain. We can't say that we believe women but just not women who accuse our favorite politicians. If so, we lose in the long run.

With Al resigning or saying he will resign, it takes away the "you've got the problem too" line and shows that Democrats take womens' voices seriously.

I understand the anger but I'm ok with the Dems taking a hard line right now.
