Let's start with a little story. The forest creatures of the 77 acre wood decided that they were going to appoint a new leader of the forest council. Two of their number wanted to hold the position, the fox and the hair. The weasel volunteered to be the judge and to set the rules. Everyone agreed and a date was set.
The race was much anticipated and all the woodland creatures came out to watch. The course looped around the whole wood and was lined by every resident of the wood.
Weasel waved the flag and the fox and hair took off down the path shoving and pushing each other to take the lead. Around the first curve the hair looked like he was getting ahead but then members of the council began throwing rocks at him. He kept running, but over the course of the race he began to fall farther and farther behind. Despite all the rock throwing the hair made a good show if it, but the fox finally rounded the last curve and ran to the finish line with the weasel waving the checkered flag.
As everyone was standing around congratulating the fox on the victory when someone mentioned that the weasel had been throwing rocks at the hair for much of the race as well. A number of the forest citizens were upset about this because it wasn't fair. The weasel was forced to resign from being the race judge.
The fox though immediately decided to have the weasel join the forest council making some of the forest creatures even more upset.
This is a unsubtle allegory about the Democrat party and their primary process.
When the super delegates favored Hillary Clinton in the general over Sanders it showed the Democrat primary process was biased.
When Debbie Wassermann Schultz and the DNC as a whole, who were supposed to be overseeing the primary, were found to have been collaborating with the Clinton campaign to discredit Sanders and hand her the nomination it showed the party and the Clinton campaign to be corrupt.
When Hillary Clinton immediately hired Schultz as her assistant campaign director after Schultz resigned from the DNC over the emails it showed Hillary to be not only corrupt, but blatantly unrepentant.
Democrats have a clear choice. It is black and white. Rarely is a choice so clearly defined. They can set aside their ethics and support their nominee, or they can remove their support with their morality as intact as it was.
Every member of the party is making this choice now whether they intend to or not. The Democrat party from this point on will be proceeding down a road paved with overt corruption and deceit.
There is no middle ground on this.
