when asked whether they agreed with the statement that members of the opposing party are “not just worse for politics—they are downright evil,” 42 percent of both Republicans and Democrats responded “yes.”
Yikes, that’s a terrifying mentality for 42 percent of people to have, that’s downright ruinous to any attempts to salvage the democratic system.
Maybe they should stop having rallies where the crowd spontaneously bursts into chants about how I should be murdered. You know, meet me halfway and stop doing blatantly evil shit.

Maybe it shouldn’t be salvaged. It’s not as if people have the power under “representative democracy.”
Power is held by those who can afford to fund campaign propaganda, not by voters.
We can do better. Maybe try a more direct democracy with recall voted and bounded mandates.
IMO, Trudeau promising election reform then backsliding is a great example. There should have been a consequence.
