F**k Ralph Northam. RESIGN TODAY!

[Hammy]

How stupid does this guy think the people are in his state? The latest excuse (denying it) after already admitting it was him betrays the contempt he (and most establishment Democrats in general) holds for the average Joe.

I bet the MSNBC Moms in NOVA are popping an extra xan and buying another bottle of rosé tonight.

This post is a perfect example of DSA and Bernie supporters' thinly concealed disdain for women.

I’mma keep it real with you, (likely) Grand Wizard Northam fanboy less than 48 hours ago. You guys’s material is really old and laughable. Just give up and try something new.

Can you really judge Northam supporters before this event? He did a fantastic job as VA governor, IMO.

I have to agree here--this is something he hid explicitly so people were unable to form a factual and honest opinion of him.

Disgusting and despicable.

This. Also, does this have any connection to Northam's controversial comments from earlier this week? Why did this picture drop now, and not during the 2017 gubernatorial campaign?

Quite likely, yes. Conveniently takes a lot of heat off the backlash to the Dems' recent abortion/infanticide extremism.

Lol, seek help.

The same could be said for you. Northam's comments earlier this week were unacceptable, and this picture also defies the bounds of human rationality.

Supporting infant DNR is unacceptable yet forcing a child to slowly die and their parents to watch because they can't afford healthcare isn't? And I never once defended Northam over the picture and said he should resign as soon as I saw the story, so not sure why that's coming up in reply to me.

Both are unacceptable. Healthcare happens to be an issue that I align with the Democrats more on, though I don't support "Medicare for All". My response to you was to remind you of how people who make requests of others, to adhere to certain kinds of behavior, could themselves be subjected to those same requests. It was out of place for you to tell him to "seek help".

Fair enough, but people should probably tone down the emotionally charged rhetoric at least.

Even if Northam was involved in the leak, accusing him of conspiring to deny Fairfax the governorship is not a good look. Doesn't really give him credibility points if he wants us to believe his story over the accuser's.

I really doubt Northam is behind this. The last thing he needs is something like that coming to light and putting even more fire under his ass.

Honestly it wouldn't be surprising since he can't run for reelection so doesn't have a whole lot to lose at this point.

[Hammy]

Get. Him. Out.

Every Democratic legislator needs to sign off to this immediately.

No
Democrats should refuse to allow any of their own to be taken down by sexual harassment issues until Republicans force Kavanaugh out.

So basically just legalize sexual assault then because that's never going to happen. This is completely stupid because for one it tells victims they're only worth hearing once the abusers personally take responsibility, and second the Dems have zero interest in being different from the GOP.

Same result with Franken, Dem pols/media overreact and overestimate how offended voters really are.

Except that Franken committed an actual crime and was right to resign regardless of where public opinion was.
