10. They could be both... unfortunately...
Is it not possible a true Dem might have an axe to grind? Well, I'll be the first to admit having certain irritations. But the fact is simple, at this time, this "concern" is far from constructive criticism. Its intent is nothing more than a blind indulgence in Schadenfreude for its own sake. There is something about this that smacks of "you've been sold a bill of goods, you idiots." Note that I've said "you've" not "we've" and that is exactly the point. Their motivations for their statements are probably varied, but at one point or another one, in response to this "concern", has to make his/her own judgments as to what is appropriate to say or do, this was mine.

I don't believe in feeding the trolls, but I don't think ignoring them is the answer, either. Somewhere in between, I believe, lies the correct response.
