The paranoid or lying psychos on the extreme left might equally desire to end democracy because the results usually don't suit them, but they aren't winning primaries and on the brink of taking high office, while those on the right increasingly are.

I'll grant you that.

As for Democratic Party leaders or Dem-friendly media, all I saw them do was grouse and grumble because our system yet again allowed the loser (by a large margin) of the popular vote to take office.

But almost all of us like to think there are certain ways in which the other faction *really is* worse, and we then need to admit that there might be other ways in which our own faction *really is* worse - or else admit that we are simply demonizing the Others, in which case we definitely are part of the problem.

Indeed.
