In 1980 there were still a few democrats who thought uncorrupted elections were more important than winning. I doubt you even find a rat voter who believes that now.
In my state—CT—the Democrats have been stealing elections since the days of FDR.
I have written here about how my grandfather gave Democratic politicians suitcases full of cash.
The mass media never caught on—and not one of those Democrats was ever indicted for taking bribes.
