re: #305 Belafon

I wonder if Chris will agree with this article, written by Jonathan Rauch and Benjamin Wittes of the Brookings Institute. It argues that conservatives must vote Democratic in the next elections to save Democracy. It specifically ends with this:

Edit: I don’t entirely agree with their view of the Democratic party, but I do agree that Democrats aren’t trying to destroy Democracy.

Don’t know about Cillizza, but Jennifer Rubin does:

If you believe in the rule of law, democratic norms and institutions and decent public debate, Republicans must pay a heavy, heavy price for indulging Trump. I am compelled to agree with Wittes and Rauch: “The goal is to make the Republican Party answerable at every level, exacting a political price so stinging as to force the party back into the democratic fold.” (That’s small “d” democratic.) Whether you think the GOP is salvageable or not, to reelect this crew in the midterms is to complete the capitulation to Trump’s anti-democratic brand of politics. All Americans are compelled to stop this.
