The Denish Albatross

There has been one party in power for ever.

It happens to have the Democrat Party.

If it had been Republicans in charge for generations, it would be
the same.

It isn't power that corrupts, it is the opportunity to abuse power
without consequence that corrupts absolutely.

If you sit within an entrenched system you will be corrupted
by your invulnerability, absolutely.

Those who stand up against an entrenched system find
themselves out of the system in short order.
Entrenched corruption does not tolerate
those who do not tolerate corruption.

Even if Lt Governor Diane Denish has not be complicit in
the incompetence and corruption, she is certainly compliant
to the culture of corruption and incompetence in state government.

She is part of an entrenched system.

One cannot graduate from party to corruption to
being the person that ends the corruption single handed.

How would that meeting look?

"Hey guys I changed my mind, and
you're all under arrest."

The impossibility of her taking charge of state government
and throwing out all of the corrupt and the incompetent
politicians and public servants entrenched in her own shared
government, hangs like an albatross* on her candidacy.

*"... a seemingly inescapable moral burden,
as of guilt or responsibility.

something burdensome that impedes action or progress."
