Democrats (and sympathyzers): what if Franken's Resignation threatened his seat?

[BoAtlantis]

This has been my complaint. Democrats have been wanting to display honor but they're doing it emotionally based on their opposition to Trump; that they refuse to stand for someone of his persona. It's easy to do such thing when you're already powerless at every level right now, and when one more loss wouldn't be as damaging for them as it would be for Republicans.

Let's just say for the sake of argument that Democrats are more honorable.

Showing an example through call for resignation hardly achieves anything when the rest of the country does not budge. Some will continue to believe that Trump and Moore are innocent while only Weinstein and Bill Clinton are definitely guilty, even when evidence against all of them are more or less comparable. Will that draw independent-leaning women to shift to Democrats? Miniscule number at most.

Voters have already shown that Hillary Clinton's progressivism does not matter to them. Why continue to act morally virtuous with little to obtain? It's possible to condemn sexual allegations and display an example through political values. Republicans already abandoned Christian values for Trump. It may not be the most ideal choice but it's wiser for Democrats to focus on cultivating candidates that can send out message in a more effective manner than Hillary could.

Democratic values can only be obtained through seats. Numerous candidates of questionable moral values come and go, but a nation's law has profound and longlasting effect, whether for good or bad.
