While the Democratic Party has a lot to account for it is the weakness inherent in the system that allowed for the success of the Mad King. The structure of our government is riddled with back doors through which bad men may do bad things. The first and strongest check against tyranny is the voters.
"We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can't the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy ... and I would submit to you that if you can't draw the line at genocide, you probably can't draw the line at democracy." - Ta-Nehisi Coates
