You approve of a blackmailer. By your own statements, I'm left to infer that you approve of "any means necessary." I approve of someone who's been unfairly tagged a racist and demoted to say "to hell with it" and go home.
That's what I would do, and it's what you would do.
Once again, you presume to know my thought processes. Ha!
I would do what's best for my Party and that is to resign as ML.
