There are a lot of Democrats Matt will never be able to reach, but this is a very close election, and the tide is turning. If the Dems succeed at every trick they're trying to make, then the people will be forced to vote for Biden or some random Republican. I for one will vote for the random Republican. Democracy is truly at stake.

I would prefer to be optimistic, but I've seen enough of the depraved cynicism from Democrats to know better. Sure, it's "both sides," but for every 1 Steve Bannon there are 1000 Marc Eliases. Stick a fork in us.

Jill Stein for me, but that's the point. If Dems are successful, we won't be able to vote for them.

Democracy sucks. It ensures oppression of the losing faction. Constitutional checks against mob rule, separation of powers, is the only way it can function, and when those are destroyed by the growing power of one of the branches (the President, the SC, especially) we are well and truly screwed.

And when appointed governmental posts amass great power to become "the deep state," "the bureaucratic state," or whatever you want to call it, democracy isn't involved at all anyway.
