He was performing very poorly in what is basically their second best time-slot. He has been getting beat by @midnight, which is a pretty terrible sign at that time of night.

Everyone on the show’s contracts were ending in a month. They weren’t going to renegotiate just to keep him for an extra couple of months.

Or they are black...

A proper investigation is probably going to take more than just interviewing the accuser and the accused.

Just because they are both conventions doesn’t mean nerd fests have anything in common with political conventions.

So you basically want to make private corporations responsible for policing harassment by having them levy penalties against people accused of harassment? Peter Thiel is that you? The perfect libertarian solution!

We also elected a vice-president. So I guess Obama should just step down whenever someone makes an allegation.

Yes, being worried about democracy is so (eyeroll). Are you serious?

Who would the DNC have to conduct a prompt investigation? They are not a police force.

How can a democracy function properly when people’s votes are dismissed simply because

There are some pretty significant issues with allowing a delegate to be removed simply because an accusation was made. Delegates are elected to attend the convention and have responsibilities beyond voting for the nominee. By removing them, you are robbing the people who voted for them to be delegate their voice in
