What if this is as good as it gets?
Campaign ads passed to the rival's campaign, press releases about a candidate's (incorrect) record in personal voting, congressional candidate aides greeting visitors to a competitor's event by shouting ethnic slurs, duck costumes.

Remember: we're trying to export this notion of how democracy works.
We can have better days. We just have to try.
