#MeToo 2

I understand why elected and appointed Democratic Party officials need to perversely spin this into a positive within the news cycle. I don’t understand why the rank-and-file voters on this board - which is mostly an echo chamber anyway - feel compelled to do the same. It’s so undignified.

 

You must have inadvertently hit the backspace key just prior to posting.

 

Damned if you do, damned if you don't?

 

You are missing the point, Not talking about him in that post, I am addressing this comment---"in the privacy of his home, not out in public."

 

What is wrong with the tweet I put up?

 

Those 2 would be included in that tweet, btw. (don't compare how we handle it now after metoo in contrast to the 90's) The tweet stands, many in both parties.

 

I think it's really gross for that to be people's reaction within the first news cycle. My goodness. People bitch and moan here about "whataboutism," but as soon as a prominent Democrat is indicated in something like this, it's a steady stream of "whataboutism."

 

But is has been a bit of a pattern, and that is only one of 3 points to the tweet. I think in the long run the other 2 are more important.

 

and when the next one comes along we can switch the words around, wash rinse repeat

 

This exemplifies why our country USED to be a model for others, not everything was solely defined by political party affiliation. Horrible conduct was denounced by all sides. Yes I'm disappointed in this clown's behavior and I'm not going to let me political leanings stop me from denouncing this guy.

 

People's first reaction is to pivot. It's what they have grown used to in their curated news selection. I'm not computer-savvy enough to do this, but I would love to know how many people Googled some form of "Is Eric Schneiderman a Democrat or a Republican?".

Journalism question: If you were the "New Yorker," would you have let the two unnamed women accuse him? I am always extremely uncomfortable with that.

 

I wasn't sure which side of the aisle he was on until I saw @YankeeFan posting.
