Weiner is scum, but since he hasn't been in politics for a while, and will never be there again, what is your point?
The point was clear - he and Huma both embody
everything about liberalism. He's a miserable dirt-bag and she won't leave him because of her quest for power and wealth (just like her idol Hitlery).
Well, no. As long as his unacceptable behavior was unknown, he was a well known member of the Democratic party, but he left in disgrace immediately when his behavior was known. There are standards required, and he doesn't meet those standards. He is no more representative of all Democrats than Nixon or Tom Delay are representative of all Republican presidents.
Richard Nixon will always be a representative of the Republican Party. It's just a fact. He was President of the United States as a Republican. You can't run from the past just because it's uncomfortable. It is what it is. Anthony Weiner is a life-long Democrat and progressive. Huma Abedin refused to leave him because of her quest for power and wealth (just like Hitlery refused to leave Bill Clinton, just like Jacqueline refused to leave John F. Kennedy). Progressives have a long and ugly history of this behavior. You can't run from it (any more than a Republican can run from Richard Nixon). Own it. Be a man and
own it. And if you're truly that ashamed (and frankly - I think anyone on the left should be), then leave that disgusting party. You don't have to become a conservative. Real conservatives left the Republican Party and created the Libertarian Party, the Constitution Party, and the Tea Party. If you're one of those rare men of character on the left, then you guys should be forming a party that you don't have to be ashamed of. Create the Progressive Party or the something else which has left believes but actually insists on character and integrity. Don't just try to whitewash history.
