The important point about that election - and the point that is consistently ignored - wasn't who won and who didn't win. It was about people who tried to interfere with the process of counting the votes. It doesn't matter which side they were on. They were traitors to the democratic process.

And for people to have taken sides on what were essentially technical issues of getting it right, and to have done so according to which side they wanted to win was shameful.

The same goes with issues of alleged crimninality involving politicians - it shouldn't matter which side you are on, bent politicians are your enemy. In fact any real democrat (small d) would be even more concerned to root out people who are bringing discredit upon their own party.

And I don't know any word that means a believer in democracy other than democrat. That word's got a much longer history than any American political party.
