Human nature

These past few months have been depressing but critical to understanding where women are on the political spectrum in the United States.

We now know that parity is being achieved in the realm of personal greed, that women can be as adept as men at betraying not only general principles of fundamental decency but specific principles that they have used for their own advancement and which they have loudly touted as being absolute.

The bottom line is that the most powerful women in the country not only won't challenge the agreed-upon leaders on their own sides but will support them through anything if there's something in it for those powerful women.

They can say all they want about how their primary concern is the good of the American people.  They wouldn't be politicians if they weren't saying that.

What's going through their minds?  Are they thinking:

"I worked so hard for so long.  Nobody's going to take this chance away from me!"

Funny how there are so many people who work so hard for so long and yet are never in a position individually or collectively to influence whether or not a fair investigation is made of a credible allegation of sexual assault by a former Vice President.  We're supposed to be living in a democracy but it feels a lot like a lot of people being told what to do by a much smaller number of people who have a lot more money.
