46. Think about that sentence: "democrats have been betrayed"

How does one even betray a political party? It’s a mechanism for pushing candidates and turning ideas into policy. That’s it. It’s a machine.

It’s like saying “my refrigerator has betrayed me yet again.”

We shouldn’t yell at people who “betrayed” the machine. We should ask, “what is wrong with the machine that people don’t like it/trust it/want to use it?”
