Our better selves

A tad over the top, but we've earned the moral high ground

I've never been a big fan of the "when they go low, we go high" (with all due respect to Michelle Obama) strategy--there's just too much at stake and frankly winning is too important to get bogged down in what often amounts to technicalities (and going low has never seemed to hurt republicans all that much electorally, to boot).  But the calls for--and eventual acceptance of--the resignations of Al Franken and John Conyers over their sexual harassment transgressions is the right move at the right time.  It may be tremendously cynical (we live in a cynical world), but the most important part of Al Franken's resignation speech was when he contrasted himself resigning with pervert Donald Trump staying in the White House and pedophile Roy Moore remaining in the U.S. Senate race in Alabama.

The contrast is stark--we don't accept sexual assault.  Republicans do.

I like the way that will play in the 2018 elections.

Fuck Donald Trump,
