Death by hot air. It's a serious problem.
But this always happens with the left. It starts out by unleashing a tidal wave of hysteria and anger. When that wave is unable to travel any further, it implodes inward leading to that hallowed institution, the circular firing squad.
A Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer on Thursday tore into interim DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile for supporting a "flawed candidate" in Hillary Clinton, according to The Huffington Post.
Brazile was addressing about 150 staffers in their first meeting since Donald Trump's victory in Tuesday's election when a staffer, identified as "Zach," stood up.
“Why should we trust you as chair to lead us through this? You backed a flawed candidate, and your friend [former DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz] plotted through this to support your own gain and yourself,” he said, according to the report.
Zach faced boos and calls to sit down as he continued.
“You are part of the problem. You and your friends will die of old age and I’m going to die from climate change. You and your friends let this happen, which is going to cut 40 years off my life expectancy,” he added.
We're hearing similar voices. The obvious careerist impulse is to purge Clintonites to make way for a newer and younger generation of Democratic activists. But there's also plenty of authentic anger from Bernie Sanders supporters. Clintonworld was a huge and powerful machine that stretched to the very limits of the Democratic political establishments. Its critics are not wrong in pointing out that this led to conflicts of interest which helped cost their party the election. And that means the purge will be huge.
