UPDATED: Brazile to critics: 'Go to hell'

[Squinch]

23. In all your "leaving aside" you did manage to bring up all the old grievances in that little

Festivus paragraph.

But let's now leave all that aside and point out some facts. Donna got it wrong. Hillary bailed out the DNC. In doing that she signed an agreement that did not give her any special control over the money THAT SHE DONATED. The agreement specified that her donation did not in any way change the responsibility of the DNC to work for all candidates. Bernie signed the same fundraising agreement. After the primary was won, she signed another agreement that allowed her more control over the money THAT SHE DONATED.

I'd like to think we were better off than we were before too, but I see no evidence that those who were so easily led by lies in the past are not going to stop being easily led by lies in the future. I'm not convinced that the easily led will not spread those lies to all corners of the internet where they are picked up by other easily led people who then stay home or vote against Democrats. Because of the Republican manufactured disarray that "loyal democrats" love to spread.

I would ask if it would not serve us all if we could all, just for a moment, stop compulsively shooting ourselves in the foot and picking up on every talking point the Republican spin machine feeds us. But I see no reason to believe that will happen.
