This is exceptionally serious. There are real questions about the future of democracy in any country where the party representing half of the electorate is no longer committed to accepting election results. That is the U.S. right now. 👇
Sunday show hosts keep asking Republicans if they'll accept the election results, and their answers indicate they won't unless Trump wins. It's just not a sustainable situation for democracy.
