In reply to the discussion: Please STOP Fostering Anger. Democratic Leaders Should Not Be Called Terrible Things [View all]ms liberty
(11,025 posts)The ones fostering the anger are the irresponsibile press, the wealthy donors and members of our party and their staff who are playing these insane backroom games. They're going to cause us to lose.
And quit with the patronizing. It's not a good look. You keep posting stuff telling us things like "they can't tell us right now but they have our best interests at heart." And that we should just "trust our leaders, because they're doing what is best for us."
Well, here's the thing: we're not children and they're not our effing parents, they're our ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES. I expect to be kept informed, and I expect them to act in a responsible, adult, open manner. I expect them to not play political games with my vote. I expect them to act with honor and dignity - and these games they're playing are none of those things.
