Today, civil rights leader Dolores Huerta issued the following statement:

23. Perfectly put. My lesson from Bill-Monica was to put the Dem *AGENDA* above any individual.

Back then I defended Bill tooth and nail on partisan grounds at the raging brawls in Happy Hours. Privately, I blamed both of them for selfishness, irresponsibility, and risk to the country. Privately (for myself only) I was devastatedly crushed in Bill (last line of Primary Colors, "We saved you/again, don't break our hearts/again" - paraphrase) most of all for, as difficult as it is to attain the power to make a positive difference, he risked it all for crap. It took me a few years to shake off the focusing on individuals as heroes and personal cult leaders. Over the past couple of decades, the MAGAts go-to is to accuse us of worshipping Hillary or OBAMA. My answer is ready and without denigrating whoever our leaders are, that we aren't cult worshippers, we support the Democratic agenda above all and value our leaders by how effective they are in implementing it.

The internet (Al GORE's "information superhighway" ), beyond all the utilitarian uses, has opened our perspectives of knowledge to incredible extents, here in the complete exposure of our common humanity as opposed to the stale hero and villain judgments of the past - presidents with worse behaviors than Bill's, world historical figures who were genocidal maniacs, saints who weren't. Also, that fairly saintly behavior doesn't equate with effectiveness or achievement.

So, yes, *AGENDA* over individuals - not "Royals" born to deserve anything and not delinquents retaining the party label. If a "Dem" is caught with cash in the freezer or any other malfeasances, buh-bye.
