Democrats can't hold the high ground

I'm getting tired of the Democrats, who portray themselves as the last bastion of civil rights, continually whining about how gerrymandering of districts and saying the Russian hacking stole the election from them.

It's odd that they never address the gerrymandering when it comes to the Democrats in Illinois who have been doing it for decades. As for the Russian connection, it is terrible and needs to be looked into, but to say that it in and of itself lost them the presidency is ridiculous.

If they really wanted to protect the civil liberties of the people of this country, they should prosecute Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her associates at the DNC who, we know for certain, violated the civil rights of millions of Americans by manipulating the primary process so that Mr. Sanders did not have a chance to be the Democratic nominee.

If you're going to bill yourself as the holder of the high ground, you have to hold it even when it means you have to take one on the chin yourself occasionally.
