The behavior of Democratic Party apparatchiks* with their thumbs resting with various gradations of pressure on the debates and primaries in Iowa, Florida and other states is not confidence inspiring, to put it mildly. Yes, there's a history of cheating (for example, Bernie Sanders 2016) but they're now tilting the nomination process early, often and openly. The behavior of some elected Democratic officials, Colorado and Maine come to mind, to dress up what comes off as election interference in fancy legal tailoring is downright corrosive.

That's without even getting into the inundation of indictments against Trump.

One is left with the distinct impression that the Democrats are willing to do just about anything to keep the anointed loyal party members in power (and keep Trump from getting elected) while cynically insisting "we must save Democracy!" The irony of their behavior is obvious to anyone who isn't wearing blue-tinted goggles. In effect, they are sowing doubt and legitimizing claims of election interference.

*Using the term here by comparison, to denote a corrupt, unaccountable elite that is wildly out of touch with the people they're supposed to serve.
