14. Not muttering about Carville or Emanuel

I am yelling about them. Emanuel, as mayor of Chicago, was part of the coverup of the police department's violence against the Black community. He advocated for a Social Security agreement with the Republicans when Obama's chief of staff that were harmful to older citizens so he could claim a pragmatic win. Fortunately the GOP House was already crazy and turned down the deal. Emanuel showed nothing but contempt for anyone he disagreed with, particularly the progressive branch of the Party, people he now expects to take his words of wisdom to heart.

Carville has contempt for women in the Party, calls them preachy and whiney. He is a hired political gun who has in the past worked for slimy Eastern European interests and the guidance he provides is that of a mercenary.

Overlooking this kinda crap is part of the problem, I would say. We continue to be wedded to leadership that won elections in decades past, and are very reluctant to give up their high profile positions, and the perks.

And scolding, they love to scold, the thing they claim to hate so much about AOL and everyone else they feel are too liberal.
