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

That "When they go low, we go high" bullshit gets you curb stomped in elections because the general public doesn't care about this and it blows over fast. They held themselves to higher standards and one of the best Senators resigned over a decades old photo while on a comedy tour. This is a political war. Both sides are as much puppets of corporations but when you try to show off for being righteous, you resign and lose power. One party is in this for pure power and when they wield it, it only helps out the elites.
