There is no official scorecard on this one, but if there is one word I've heard more than any other from Democratic politicians over the past several years, it might be "democracy."
Kamala Harris repeatedly made "democracy is on the ballot" a central theme of her presidential campaign. California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared that "democracy is under assault across this nation." Incoming House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries promised that "we are going to fight for our democracy, fight for the rule of law, and fight for the Constitution against those who want to turn back the clock."
These are three examples from a potential list of 3,000. One question, though: Why does democracy stop mattering once these Democratic politicians don't get what they want?
In this case, I'm referring specifically to the passing of Washington state's Initiative 638, which would enforce the separation of boys and girls in K-12 sports if it goes into effect. The reason I used "if" is because there are a lot of Democrats in Washington hellbent on overturning the will of the people.
To be clear, this was not a tight race. The AP called it when the "yes" side of I-638 held a 13% lead with 88 percent of the votes counted. But almost immediately, Democrats decided democracy wasn't a necessity so much as an inconvenience.

When you pass policies to end boys' sport, what is the consequence?
We're setting the stage with the Left's total control (75% of the nation) for Obergefell's next move.
Just like Communists control over other countries, if they dont like how the people voted, they just overturn it say “Yeah well we say otherwise” and thats it
That’s why same-sex “marriage” is crucial. It overturned a supermajority. It was designed to tell people who was king when the elites lose. Their playbook on men in women’s sport is to use favourable courts at the district level, then get the Supreme Court majority, and voila, the cases are overturned. The other option is the Equality Act, which will likely pass with 60% and 57% supermajorities.
Affordability?
Our Founders warned us about the Mob Rule of democracy.
Another word they have hijacked then meaning of (like “gay”), we are not a democracy rather a constitutional republic.
They must be getting mileage with “protecting our democracy.”
It’s nauseating that people are ignorant enough to swallow that.
The single biggest reason people said that they voted Democrat in the last election was “ saving democracy “
Let that one sink in for a minute
Democrats use the anti democracy words to defend every lunatic
ideas the prepose and promote socialism.
They are as useful as plugged toilet both have the same stench.
Absolute power is all they care about and they will bulldoze anyone or anything in their way. These useful idiots who voted them into office will get what they deserve and the rest of us will suffer along the way as well.
It’s not Democracy, it’s “OUR Democracy.”
In other words, it’s about their twisted perversion about what democracy is.
They also ignore the fact that America is a Republic.
