TFW WSJ *Opinion* is somehow more pro-democracy than the NYT
NOONAN: “.. I believe a big, big wave is coming .. This is what I hope for: that it won’t be a close election, that the outcome is unmistakable. Let it be a clear and obvious rebuke—a rejection, a rebellion, a rout.”

I have to give Georgia Republicans a lot of credit. They are the most pro-democracy old-school Republicans left. It is important for a democracy to have two responsible parties
Breaking: Gov. Brian Kemp just said he will *not* call a special legislative session to redraw Georgia’s political boundaries or limit the powers of Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms. #gapol

Democrats had a historic night, with many “firsts,” but a hard lesson of Obama’s win in 2008 is that an unpopular war, economic crises and political malfeasance are insufficient to forge a durable multiethnic, pro-democracy coalition. The challenge of building a truly pluralistic democracy remains.

Wisconsin Democrats have gained FULL control over state government for the first time in 16 years.
Wisconsin was at the epicenter of Republican efforts to subvert democracy through gerrymandering and voting restrictions.

Last night was a monumental victory across the nation for our democracy and our rights.
Voters passed ballot measures protecting reproductive rights, marriage equality, voting rights, and more. Every single pro-civil liberties candidate race the ACLU worked on won, all because of the voters.
