Democrats Embrace Government by Word Puzzle

Name any political phenomenon that benefits the Right, and Democrats will denounce it as “antidemocratic.”

Famously, liberals have derided new laws tightening voting requirements in the post-Covid world as a threat to democracy (even though in Georgia, for example, voting surged after the enactment of such laws). Gerrymandering, a practice older than American democracy itself, is often flagellated as a “thorn in the side of democracy.” Some even argued that the Supreme Court case that ended the judiciary’s nearly half-century-long stranglehold on abortion law and restored the issue to the democratic process would “degrade democracy.”
