More than half of Harris voters, 51 percent, say that America is not a functioning democracy, while 52 percent of Trump voters take the opposite view and say the U.S. is a model.

I'm amazed only half think America is not a functioning democracy. American "democracy" is totally broken.

1/3 didn't. That's not good, but it's not most people.

Oh, I got it backwards. I thought 1/3 did.

And how many of that 35% are willing to take the risk of it becoming a civil war?

Arguably all revolutions are civil wars.

Best hope for an amicable divorce.
