    Nah, I think it would make more sense to spread rumors in left wing spaces. Worked on Al Franken.

    Those of us on the left have a serious problem with instantly excommunicating anyone accused of sexual misconduct. We don’t wait for all the facts to come out, we instantly disavow them.

    And then, in the worst case, we start attacking anyone who calls for having a level head.

      Mostly I don’t disagree with this assessment, but by now we’re talking about the boy who cried wolf. Republicans have been very outspoken with their “groomer” talk so many provably false times, meanwhile Trump and his cronies have committed a number of sex crimes and/or shown a lack of remorse for the victims thereof that it’s hard for them to come off as credible with this stuff anymore. I do miss Al Franken, though.
