If Democrats want to win the next election as the guardians and saviors of democracy, they have a lot of work to do. Unfettered participation in free and fair elections, followed by respect for election results and peaceful transfer of power is the minimum conditions for democracies. However, democracy includes much more. Healthy democracies don’t shortchange some folks, privilege others, shut down dissent, or support killing innocent civilians anywhere in the world. These essential features are missing in the United States. Even these basics are at risk. Democrats need to vigorously fight for the fullest democracy to be its believable defenders. They urgently need to do so now!
