We need all the Democratic Party votes we can get

That's another reason losing Franken like this was so bad. It hurt morale.
We need to somehow heal our divisions and GOTV in 2018.
Our country depends on it.

in the ass to prove how morally superior we are.

When we have people working to get us where we need to be consider their whole body of work not just one misdeed.

A few senators have voiced regret at having asked Franken. I suggest a renewed effort to deluge Franken with calls and emails telling him he shouldn't resign. We need him.

Yes, I've both called and emailed him in the last few days.

We can't discount any demographic group or region of the country. Even small numbers of voters can make a big difference in close races and we need as many Democrats as possible in Congress and in state government.
