Surely you aren't hiding under a rock currently.  But perhaps you are, since Orange Man President.

It's precisely what the fake dossier, and "insurance policy" was all about - to prevent and/or unseat a duly elected President.  Prior to that, it was superdelegate shenanigans to ensure Hillary was the chosen one.  They do everything possible to end run the Constitution and law in their lust for permanence of power.

Which you seem fine with (regardless of which part it is.)  Otherwise, you'd agree.

You're confusing the ideological left with the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party has rotted from the inside out. Years of cronyism and control by a select few (Clintons, Obamas, etc.) who have figured out how to manipulate the party to maximize their own personal gain while keeping the blinders on the masses. That backfired in a big way with the Hillary rigging, and that is what directly led to the AOCs of the world. The Democratic Party has begrudgingly acknowledged that crowd as its best way to survive in a world where it's thoroughly alienated the center. It's not that the Republican Party wasn't doing the same thing, they just didn't get caught by Wikileaks. Or maybe they did, and it wasn't released at the request of a "mutual friend" of Assange and GOP leadership. In any event, Donald Trump co-opting the Republican Party probably saved it from the same fate. Had Jeb Bush run against Hillary Clinton, the Presidency that ensued would have been even more disastrous than Trump's (yes, Trump is a disaster), and the fallout would have destroyed both parties.

Which would have been a good thing, but I digress.

You want me to acknowledge that one political party acts in ways that benefit it at the expense of others? Yeah, no [BLEEP]. In other news, the sky is blue, except at night, when it's black with some subtle, lovely blue and white accents. Trump's launched his own assault on the Constitution, but he's got you feeding out of his hand to rationalize it the same way that Bernie Sanders has millions of idiots convinced that he can magically give the whole country free healthcare and only those rich bastards who want your family to die of dysentery are going to have to pay for it.
