This is my feeling as a white woman and seeing what happened today in TN. I would have resigned if I was that white woman and they didn't vote to expel me yet did the two black men. My opinion tho and I would have done right there.
How does her district losing their voice and that seat remaining open for months help anyone, much less the Justins?
I mean, it's a grand gesture and all but hands the victory entirely to the GOP (they tried to get her to resign to keep her insurance - she's disabled).
In this case, the two Justins will be almost immediately appointed to fill their old positions. Her district not so much and it would likely sit open until an election. Not a slam dunk district.
The Justins are in full support of her not resigning. That's good enough for me. I don't need her to throw herself on a pyre.
@Cosmichomicide they will be replaced by other dems more then likely or simply get re-elected. Also, half the time they arent getting anything done anyway andddddd if their voice mattered to begin with then they wouldn't have had a vote to begin with. Sometimes you have to stand on principle.
