Huh?!! What are you trying to do, prove that this is a partisan witch hunt like Trump says? It's not about one side!!! It's about a foreign country interfering in our election via imitating partisanship in order to 1) stoke chaos and divisiveness in the system 2)get their favorite to win if possible. Your comment could just have easily come from a Russian troll!

Russian response to Trump victory

Trump is denying the truth. This is a one-sided problem.
Edit to add:
Trump tries to blame Ukraine for hacking the 2016 election.

As Senator Kamala Harris notes, Russia exploits terms like so-called identity politics.

We have a 18th century political system, with extreme gerrymandering, unrestricted campaign money, formal and informal mechanisms that suppress the popular vote, and a cynical, delusional, and/or low information population prone to tribalism, replete with dislike or unfamiliarity with democratic institutions, and susceptible to easy exploitation of ingrained racism and bigotry.
Combine that with 21st century incendiary targeted globalized internet propaganda apparatuses backed by virtually unlimited funding, and the opportunities are ripe for collapse into authoritarian despotism.

Exactly, so if you want Dems to win, you will stop with imitating Russian propaganda imitating your "identity politics" Identify politics turns off important swing voters, it's just that simple. It's a democracy which means majority common good is supposed to win and minority agitators about advancing minority special interests are supposed to go to the courts for protection, not spoil the political parties. who need to emphasize big tent common good, with their self-interested tribal causes. Actually, swing voters are the only minority that matter in national races. Hot tip: if Russian trolls think it works to disrupt a country and ruin elections, maybe it's not smart to do the same thing if you want to win elections. You can't have it both ways. If you believe Russian trolls helped Trump win by imitating your rhetoric, and you don't like the results, then it's actually "your side" is the one who is worse than the other side!
And that's totally a different thing from not wanting foreign interence in elections! That IS a bi-partisan concern! And there's another one that's just that simple! Because next time they could want the other side to win. I don't get why you don't get why this is definitely not a partisan thing! The whole world is not aligned Democrat vs. Republican. They will have other motives! All along Dems have been trying to remove this from the alignment with Trump issue and have GOP look beyond supporting Trump to the fact of foreign intervention in American elections. And here's rmrd trying to drag it back to partisan politics again. I swear sometimes you seem just like a Russian troll. Either you are or you know not what you do, how counterproductive to your own causes your arguments are sometimes.
How can I make it simple for you to understand? Dems should be happy what happened here! What Dems wanted = GOP on committee to drop their immediate partisan concerns and think long term danger to the country. But nooo, rmrd wants to drag it back to the mire of immediate myopic and parochial tribal partisanship.

Again, Russians were imitating your modus operandi. If you want to talk partisanship and are looking to win elections, it would make sense to stop doing the stuff they are imitating! If you believe they hurt your side, then anyone rational would conclude identity politics stuff like this is absolutely the wrong thing to do if you want to win, your side is one and the same with the Russians and you are at fault as much as the Russians in both being divisive and hurting the Dem party/
Repeating from my "cancel culture" thread, hoping it will sink in with you someday. Below are all Facebook ads placed by Russian trolls before the 2016 election to provoke tribal divisiveness.
