Clay:

American democracy is broken. Your article only confirms my position.

In my opinion, the most profound statement of your article is "They [the D Elite] aren’t going to get it." They are on a different agenda altogether. They see victory in being "not Trump," not much else.

They could change. But we should not count on that.

It is time for a new kind of democracy.
