    That’s certainly the overall picture for the party, but at the lowest level these are still a bunch of actual, individual humans filling seats. So many of them are so forthcoming in speaking out about being on the wrong side of history the moment they step out of those roles. I would like to understand what’s compelling them to consistently vote and speak in unison against the things they swore to uphold, and lie directly to our faces every day right up until the point where it doesn’t matter anymore. Whatever is at work there is going to burn everything down eventually.

      They might deserve respect if they’d say those things and stand by them while they’re in power.

      If they only speak up after they leave, they’re only admitting that they DID know better and chose to do the bad thing anyways. That makes it WORSE.

      I’m pretty sure there’s a word for people who knowingly do bad things…
