1.5%, 21,000 votes?! A serial sex offender is preferrable to some voters over voting for a Democrat?!
OMFG!
Ok, deep breathes...
I admit I dont know much about the Democrat or the details of the alleged sex offense, but it is shocking to me what a politician is able to be accused of now, and yet sustain a not-insignificant-base. I know we are all innocent until proven guilty, but it saddens me that someone in the public eye could be accused of such atrocious activities and yet not resign, or be forced to step down.
In the past, allegations would have tarnished your name and the candidate would have stepped down but not now. Moore, Trump and more recently a lot of actors Kevin Spacey, etc, etc, have all been accused of horrible things and continued to do their work, until they in some cases were forced out.
Horrible analogy I'm about to use here, but personal standards are low. Remember when you parent wouldn't let you leave the house until you fixed your hair tucked in your shirt and appeared to have it together? People are so caught up with the new pace of life that they are letting go of standards in all forms it seems.
