17. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!

We all know what he has done. No denying.
BUT, WE DON'T NEED TO SLIT OUR OWN THROATS!
He's tainted, but he's still a Vote in the House.
He needs to atone to the women he's harmed. He's already Toast.
The life-and-death battle we're waging can't afford the Purity test.
We need to learn from History.
Remember... Our opponents are coming with mayhem. They can't be defeated with Honesty. We know this.
(We also know he's not the only Creep in Congress.)
This is a hard call for all of us. It's all complexity, and we're forced to choose between our Humanity and forfeiting our chance to get past the Republican strangle on our lives.

The women who have come forward are Heroic. All of America owes them our deepest gratitude for exposing their private selves for Justice.
They worked to make better lives for us all. We need to honor their efforts by seeing the fight go on with all the resources we can muster.
Revenge is best served cold.
