These naysayers are missing the robust record that the Democrats have to run on—one that includes the not insignificant line item of being the only side standing up for Democracy itself.
Republicans have shown their laissez faire attitude toward democracy in numerous ways, starting with passing bills across the country restricting the right to vote. Then there's their penchant for denying the results of the 2020 election, or opposing the bipartisan commission to investigate the storming of the Capitol on January 6, an effort designed to undermine the electoral process altogether.
Most recently, leaked tapes revealed how Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy really felt about Trump's role in inciting the January 6 attack, going so far as to say that Trump should resign immediately. In another recently released tape, McCarthy accused some GOP lawmakers of putting people in jeopardy.

Democracy to Democrats is Democrats in power.
Anything else is Hitler.

To: rightwingintelligentsia
Funny, I don’t believe anybody really reads Newsweek, much less lets them tell them what to think.
To: SunkenCiv
aka @funder on Twitter, this stooge Scott Dworkin is one of the worst of the worst partisan hack bluechecks.

We’re a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy.
Newsweek was purchased for $1. Overpriced...

Simple projection.
Or as we boys used to say in Jr High, "he who smelt it, dealt it."
Translation: They're accusing us of what they are doing.

Funny how Newsweek gets headlined to make sure it gets more circulation. This site should Be a good Dem and ban it. LOL

Wow, Newsweek is getting writers from skid row now?
