Democrats did not take the High Road today

[flotsam]

Today was an extra-judicial lynching and if that is to be the wonderful new democratic standard-that due process and rule of law are trumped by outraged moralizing and the baying of the pack, than I quit the party and so should every person who would not be willing to become prey for the hunt. I have not been so disappointed in an existing social milieu since my first reading of "To Kill a Mockingbird"...Every concern could have been addressed in a fair and open hearing AS ASKED FOR by the accused and instead this fucking travesty is being celebrated. It is pluperfect horseshit and I am ashamed

3. They have enormously extended the scope of the term "useful idiots".

Useful Idiots is supposed to apply to Repug voters, not Dem "leaders". Sadly, the distinction is losing relevance.

2. It was certainly a rush to judgment.

I wonder if social media contributed to the frenzy. I feel like the news comes so fast today that people are reacting without thinking.

6. This should be pinned to the top of the forum.

Just in case someone forgets their names come the 2020 primaries.

5. Disgusted with the lot of them

Really struggling here because I just don't see how I can continue to support people who don't give a damn about finding the truth.

That's what I care about most. I thought Democrats cared too. Today shows they don't.

One thing, after today I hope to be receiving far less email - unsubscribed to all those emails that ask me for money. Well, unsubscribing I should say. The list is long so it will take a while. There isn't an organization or Democrat who doesn't pummel me with emails asking for money - calls and surface mail too.

I know intellectually the Dem Party apparatus is the only vehicle available that could be used to make a difference due to the sheer size of the party. But I don't approve of this kind of difference - railroading one of the very best out of his hard earned seat.

This is a very bad day. My party has committed a travesty of justice.
