 So imagine how surprising it was to read a recent story in the New York Times. It details all the ways a coalition of leftists is working to thwart Trump's policy objectives should he regain the White House. How ironic. Those who claim to fight for democracy are working overtime to ensure their preferred policies remain in place, regardless of what the people actually vote for. It gives the game away. To the left, democracy has nothing to do with honoring the outcome of elections.
