In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders campaign gets another win in Colorado [View all]Igel
(37,282 posts)24. This kind of situation is depressing.
In my experience, often those who seek to power or position to "counter perceived bias" towards or against individuals or a particular set of doctrines feel completely justified in being biased themselves. To provide "balance." It becomes a matter of jockeying for power and position, not to advance but to push others out.
Then the committee or organization is reduced to snake pit until everybody realizes that they may have favorites, but using power to help "your guy" (or "gal"
is simple malfeasance and instead of being an ethical imperative is simply unethical.
