The word "ought" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
If anyone thinks that anybody who is walking the halls of ultimate political power in Washington is even capable of feeling "shame" -- about anything -- they have no idea how our political/governmental system actually works. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is.
Some of us still feel this country can possibly be saved and are actually trying to do something, not sitting on our fat asses being keyboard warriors.
I feel a degree of sympathy for people who have wholly given up on it.
As for myself, I think I have a damn good idea of how our government works. That was a strange remark to direct to someone who you don’t know, painting me as totally ignorant with “no idea how our political/governmental system actually works”.
Nothing personal here, but I don’t think I am inclined to take any “instruction” of any kind from someone who feels obliged to lecture in that manner.
