I might not be the best guy to ask if you want agreement that the left has been suppressed to the point of death. I live in NYC and all my friends are lefties, including my wife. Pretty much everyone I know (with some exceptions) is a liberal Democrat. I don't see any suppression here at all.
And honestly, I'm not "defending" anything, host. I'm just saying that you get your moral outrage frothing over things that are simply not outrageous - these things are nothing more than human beings behaving in the flawed ways human beings behave. In any crowd, there is some percentage that is nasty, some that is greedy, some that is violent, some that is dishonest, etc etc etc. People are people. We don't have to like the bad things people do, and we can hold people accountable if they do something wrong, but I'm sorry, I don't find the existence of some (low) level corruption in and of itself cause for outrage. Government by its nature breeds corruption by creating opportunities for it.
