8. Power is so hard to relinquish.

Not that most of us know what power is, but it seems addictive. Destructive.

I always thought Platner was going to be taken down, one way or another. No Democratic candidate has ever said the things he did or built such a movement opposed to the status quo.

Swalwell was allowed to run amok for years and no one did a damn thing. For Platner, it was all hands on deck in a coordinated attack. Just as Platner said.

Those responsible may not be celebrating their "win" for long. Though they seem to be still at it with the new crop, the signs are already showing.
