Shouldn’t someone note that the role of dark and seemingly limitless money in our politics has brought us to a kind of undemocratic kleptocracy already?

The dissonance of relying on an anti-democratic system to protect democracy, one that would have the majority stand up against authoritarian rule, yet still succumb if a handful of people in the right geographies tilt the other way is a significant contributor to this dread. That and the shear befuddlement of being told it's a close race when there is such a clear choice between competence, decency, truth and... whatever Trump is. It boggles. Yet I remain hopeful that when the day comes, we will prevail and realize we are a better people than our online lives make us out to be.
