Should Bernie be allowed to run for office again?

Asked by seawulf575 (16680points) December 31st, 2018

I came across this article:

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-alumni-request-meeting-to-address-sexual-violence-on-2016-campaign_us_5c2a2adae4b0407e9084c768

When Kavanaugh was accused of being a sexual predator with no proof being offered, the overwhelming opinion on Fluther was that he should not be allowed to hold any office. Now we have a whole lot of Bernie staffers bringing up complaints of sexual violence on the campaign trail. Based on the accusations alone, shouldn’t we hold the same belief that he shouldn’t be allowed to hold office? True, he may not have actually committed any sexual offenses, but he set the standard for what was acceptable in the campaign.
To put your questions of my stance to rest, I find that the staffers are handling this in an extremely professional way. I hope they work it out equitably. And yes, I think Bernie should be allowed to run for office again…should be allowed to hold his senate seat…unless it comes out that he raped someone or something like that and then, if the proof is there, action should be taken against him.
So what do YOU think?
