These are things that we do already. I'm not sure that admitting it openly turns someone into the second coming of Stalin.

Ok? Neither of those are war crimes or dismantle US democracy, which are the claims in question.

Per Common Article 3 of Geneva Conventions, killing families of terrorists and torture are war crime.

No, try reading it. We do both of those things all the time. Where's the war crimes trials? Those are only war crimes under certain circumstances.

he wants to jail journalists and his political opponents and he's been actively undermining the legitimacy of the electoral process for weeks

i don't know how to describe that other than he wants to 'dismantle US democracy'

He wants to jail Clinton, because she has committed numerous felonies. And how has he been "actively undermining the legitimacy of the electoral process"? That's what Clinton did, remember? You know those Podesta emails that proved what everyone with a brain already knew? That Sanders never had a chance and the DNC had it rigged from the start?
