Last two paragraphs.
And please, spare me any explanations for this phenomenon that rely on how divided Americans are. Are we divided? Sure. But theres only one party that is so vigorously undermining core democratic institutions in this way. You may not like what Democrats stand for, but they arent engaging in widespread official vote suppression, chanting that should their candidate win her opponent should be tossed in jail, promising to prevent any Republican president from filling vacancies on the Supreme Court, suggesting that theyll try to impeach their opponent as soon as he takes office, cheering when a hostile foreign power hacks into American electronic systems, and trying to use the FBI to win the election.
Only one party is doing all of that. And we should all be very worried about what Republicans will do after November 8, whether they win or lose.
Um... anybody STILL think both parties are the same?
