Reply to comment by Trout-Population in In the wake of sexual harassment allegations lodged against him, state Rep. Mike Zabel (D., Delaware) says he is not resigning his seat in the Pennsylvania State House by PienotPi

I totally get that and normally I'd agree 💯. But what has holding Dems to a higher standard gotten us? Al Franken is a great example.

Minnesota has two democrat senators. Al Franken retiring didn't lose anyone a seat. This guy should give up his seat so we can elect someone who isn't sexually harassing people.

Politicians shouldn't be sexually harassing people. I don't disagree with your statement, but the least we can do is stand up for the women (and men) who are willing to stand up for themselves. It's our duty as informed citizens to call politicians on their bullshit regardless of party.
