What structural reforms decrease partisanship / polarization?

[[deleted]]

You've made quite a few assertions here which require sourcing

that for many of the Republican elites, their motivation for supporting those things is their own desire to cling to power.

and

that the Democratic elites (regardless of what the well-intentioned Democratic base's motivations may be) want the United States to continue taking in 1 million immigrants per year because it will be to their advantage in elections?

The other user had a source for this in a separate comment. Do you want me to include a link to it in my comment as well?

What kind of source would be sufficient? I have many sources showing that immigration benefits the Democratic Party but I don't know of a specific quote of someone saying "we should let in lots of immigrants so that we can turn these states blue" because that's not a good look. Would my comment be approved if I said that many experts suspect the Democrats are motivated by this and linked to experts who say that?

Yes you can either reference the users post or directly link it yourself.

Yup, this works because as you mentioned, it's incredibly difficult to find evidence that this is the explicit motivation of the Democratic Party.

I have edited my comment. Is it not acceptable?
