"Democracy" is absolutely *not* at stake on Tuesday

The U.S. has fiercely contested fair elections; “democracy” is not “on the ballot” in next week’s midterms. It’s never been easier to vote.

While hyper-partisans revel in subterfuge about voting catastrophes, in my view, we actually live in a golden age of democracy.

Unfortunately, tribalist conspiracies become self-fulfilling prophecies, proving that ferocious partisanship will make people believe it if you tell people something enough.

There is nothing in the actual behavior of Democrat politicians to show that they take their own rhetoric seriously.
