Considering that any guilt on his part is minimal at best, that he's apologized for the actions of those who were actually responsible, and that the right would never hold any of their politicians responsible for something like this, hell no he won't be resigning. Bernie has been fighting his entire life for women's rights.

Nice try, but this is purely about Republicans trying to get rid of a politician they're terrified of. If you're not holding Donald responsible for the dozens of treasonous federal crimes his campaign committed we certainly won't be doing it for this nonsense.

Are you kidding me? That (bolded above) is a ridiculous claim - how many republicants do you suppose were on Bernie's campaign staff and are thus either complaining of being harassed or underpaid or had perpetrated those alleged wrongs? Since Bernie is apologizing for those actions then that is fairly substantial evidence that such actions did, in fact, occur.

Discrimination against women is standard practice for Democrats in Congress and federal positions. Hilary Clinton paid female staffers much less too.

I watched this live. It seemed sincere, contrite, and reasonable. Bernie has always struck me as genuine and heartfelt, and I saw nothing of change in his apology.

In todays' world Jeff Bezos is directly responsible for the behavior of everyone of his employees. He should have resigned thousands of times.

When the right applies that to Trump, let us know. Because Trump blames everyone else besides himself.

No, I didn't say it was operatives in his campaign from the right, I'm saying the clowns trying to make this an issue are Republicans who are afraid of Bernie and what he represents. The tactics are wholly transparent and will be rejected accordingly.

Sexual harassment and gender pay inequality (discrimination?) are hardly republicant issues (talking points?). If anything, I would expect the establishment demorats to be worried about far left outsiders, like Bernie, reducing the support for their more moderate (mainstream?) candidates who would stand a much better chance of winning in the general election. I expected one of two things to happen to lessen the damage to moderate (mainstream?) demorat candidates running in the DNC POTUS primaries - to try discredit those like Bernie or to offer up more farther left candidates to cause the far left vote to be split (fairy evenly) among them.

They'd do it with any D.


The pattern is undeniable and obvious no matter what kind of show of objective protest one of these people puts on on DP. Every single ****ing time someone on a left is accused, they start caring about sex offenses, demand resignations, etc. And every single time someone on the right is accused, they claim that the woman is conspiring with the left to make up horrible false accusations.

Some of us are sick of watching the vile hypocrisy involved in people pretending to care about sexual harassment only when a Dem is accused just so they can use it as an attack.

It has nothing to do with Republicans having to be on his staff. It has to do with constant demands from various sources on the right that some politician on the left must fall on his sword at once, couple with their tireless and dishonest defense of any person on the right similarly accused.



Whatever. The only people at this point who have standing to talk about Bernie having to resign are those people on the left who do not automatically make up conspiracy theories to defend accused left-wingers, like Weinstein, Franken, etc.

Link to any message you posted calling for Franken's resignation to prove what you claim.
