On the line right now is whether we are a nation of laws or one in which only power matters.

At stake right now is whether we will be a democracy or become an authoritarian regime.

When it comes to the Supreme Court, the Republicans have shown that they are willing to do whatever they have the power to do — pronouncing “principles” when that wins them power, ignoring those “principles” when that  brings them more power.

When it comes to the 2020 Presidential election, this Republican-backed President has shown he will do whatever he has to do to hold onto power, regardless of the will of the people expressed through our constitutional election process.

These are two aspects of the same picture: an attack on the traditional, constitutional, democratic system of American government.

This — the unifying issue -- is one way the Democrats should present the picture.
