(38,564 posts)"Embarrassing" is not the word that fits your situation.
First, embarrassment means deep discomfort. Why would you be embarrassed or in discomfort?
You seem to be comparing DU-ers to MAGAts, and there is no comparison. DU posters don't "follow the leader" and wear red hats. I can't think of anyone here who takes direction from a "leader" and spouts propaganda. The topic of voting machine manipulation has barely been mentioned at DU.
Cupach and Metts are psychologists who have defined types of embarrassment. One cause is the failure to perform a duty or obligation. In this case, as citizens of a democracy, we have a duty and an obligation to speak up if we find credible evidence. There's enough evidence that NY Congressman Daniel Goldman has called for an investigation. You may recall Mr. Goldman: he prosecuted trump's two impeachment cases. He was the lead counsel. The office from which he worked is the Southern District of New York. Are you unfamiliar with the reputation of this office?
That's not good enough for you? If not, what would be?
Based on what you wrote, I think you are failing to distinguish between the posters here and MAGATs. Now that is embarrassing. It is also embarrassing that you don't seem to think enough of this governmental structure into which many of us were lucky enough to be born to defend it.
