I Menendez is my senator, and I want him to resign. I will be calling his office today to tell him he has lost my vote and I will call my other senator, Corey Booker, and tell him I want him to encourage Menendez to resign.

Tell him also his repeated actions are making Democrats in other states think about dropping their party affliation.

Me for onle and many of my friends for more, not to mention strangers on social media who tell me the same. If your party can't stand on such basic principles against bribery, it's not a party, it's a cult.

Not your bruh Hudson. And yes they are but mostly it's politicians jumping shipping give the GOP more voting power in legislatures.

Where you see it the most are moderate/conservative Democrats turned off by the over promotion of what they perceive as "radical" lefty ideas. Prime example are the Harvard student protesting for Hamas. There has to be better ways to support Palestinian civilians but condemn Hamas.

OTOH when Democrats are in the sweet spot it encourages moderate Republican voters to jump parties or at least go Independent.

First, none of these things support your claim that Menendez is somehow contributing to Democrats switching to Republicans. That is simply nothing but opportunism. And it certainly doesnтАЩt happen because a Democrat office holder is fed up with corruption. JFC PLEASE

You see everything through a binary , lens of democrat and republican. First of all, thereтАЩs no difference second of all, you refer to moderate Democrats as if thatтАЩs a thing. That means Democrats, who are completely owned by their donor class contributors. The true progressives, in Congress, of which there are only 12 or a major threat to both parties.
