    Plenty to legitimately criticize here but the “democracy in crisis” rhetoric is so played out -- please get a new rhetorical strategy or people will decline to pay attention to real problems, because they’re so exhausted by the nonstop hyperbolehttps://twitter.com/danpfeiffer/status/1069698011616305152 …

        it is perhaps your own psychic being-state that is exhausted from engaging non-stop stale skepti-takes, if you feel naming obvious last-minute power grabs and moves to distort future voting for the crisis it is as hype.

        You are dead wrong. Systematic coordinated attacks on the press, law enforcement, DOJ, voting rights, immigrants, obstructing investigations. Unlike you we're not waiting around to let them take it to the next level. America is fighting back. #Resist

        That ship has already sailed. I think we're almost at 100 weeks now of screeching about a constitutional crisis, preceded by about 10 weeks of the "Will Donald Trump accept the election results?" legitimacy crisis.

        "democracy in crisis" is like "judicial activism": means both allowing elections to change how the rules work (when I'm losing), and not allowing elections to change how the rules work (when I'm winning).

        It's also not THAT unprecedented. This has happened before in other states after a party loses power, although maybe not to this scale.

        Yeah there are many things that are a "crisis in democracy," but legislators passing laws that people don't like is not one of them.

        everyone screamed for 8 years that Dubya was literally the anti-christ, so I knew for sure the sky wasn't falling when Trump was elected.
