It's definitely irresponsible, but treasonous? No.

I don't think there's a word that's ever been as overused and misused here as the word "treason" has been.

I'm not intending to single you out or embarrasse you, so please don't take it personally.

People are getting waaaaaay too loosey goosey with word definitions. The gravitas behind the word "treason" is getting diluted more and more every day.

I think people really need to go look up the definition of that word and find some clear examples of it to have as a reference. Because now it seems that people believe that "treason" means anything associated with politics that they believe is wrong or don't agree with.

I don't know why, but it's like someone just flipped a switch one day, and all of a sudden people were calling anything that pissed them off as "treason".

I know I'm an old fuddy duddy, but I think it's important to keep the definition and perception of the word "treason" to high standards. When any word is overused and misused constantly, it changes the public's perception of that word. They become sort of numb to it. In this case, it doesn't hold the same amount of respect it's owed when people use it in such a trivial manner. And "treason" is definitely a word that should be given the respect it's due because of how horrible a crime it actually is.

I'll get off my soapbox now.
