Democracy is at stake in the midterms. The media must convey that.

I’ve written before about my own ideas: to make the threats to democracy a central part of media coverage, not a sidelight; to stop treating campaigns like so many horse races; to have coverage reflect a sharp focus on government rather than politics; to label this coverage in a defining and memorable way.

The midterm elections may be the most consequential ones in American history. They are less than six months away, and many Americans don’t understand how high the stakes really are. There’s not much time to fix that.

This is not the first-time democracy has been under attack, in particular as result of the lawless hacked 2016 election in the devil's favor but in 2020 the unobstructed majority rose to the occasion to crush that lawlessly hacked in tRump atrocity an curse on the entirety of humanity on Earth, and democracy is fully capable of doing it again regardless of repuke, foreign enemy and tRump sewer mob to further deal with until the threat if finally banished to hell where it belongs. Based on history democracy has come under attack worse than that rag tag lawlessly hacked in tRump atrocity at repukes facilitating the hacking at doing the biding of foreign enemies that came with a curse of epic proportions. There is no winning to attempt to destroy civilization in favor of barbaric element of the sewer:

The importance of democracy
Why is democracy important to the world and how does it help maintain a just and free society?

The importance of democracy in the world
Democracy has played a vital role in the story of civilization, helping transform the world from power structures of monarchy, empire, and conquest into popular rule, self-determination, and peaceful co-existence.

A direct form of democracy was initially practiced in ancient Greece, but there were many slaves in that society, and hardly anyone was a citizen and able to participate. Democracy then vanished until its re-emergence as ‘representative democracy’ in the late 18th century. Since then it has been generally understood that modern human history follows a trend towards greater democracy, with some scholars describing the phenomenon taking place in three waves.

The first wave, between the late 18th century and 1918, saw the American, French, and Haitian revolutions, the gradual emergence of democracy in Britain, Bolivarian revolutions establishing democracies in South America, and the break-up of German, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian empires after World War 1 into democratic republics.

The second wave, between 1945 and 1960, saw the reorganization of the defeated axis powers Germany, Italy, and Japan into strong democracies, and decolonization unfolding across the world, creating independent and largely democratic nations.
"
The third wave from 1975 to 1991, saw the end of dictatorships in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil, democratic transitions in Taiwan and South Korea, and the eventual collapse of the USSR, creating free, democratic, Eastern European states.

But since 1991, by contrast, there has been what Larry Diamond calls a ‘democratic recession’, as ex-Warsaw Pact nations, such as Russia, Hungary and others have slid back into authoritarianism."

Aside from that, there are no winners of humanity at running with the barbaric concept of authoritarianism that is akin to the end of civilization on Earth. Also, as a result of conspiring to engage in insurrection and conspiracies against Democracy, humanity and U.S. Constitutional law, a majority of repukes cluttered up in Congress, in particular, deserve a no less than 20-year term in prison at waging war on society while living and whoring it up and aligning themselves with foreign enemies on the taxpayer dime.

Democracy has always been under attack even upon its conception, and this repuke war on democracy and even humanity is not the first time democracy has come under attack throughout history, and even worse than it is now:

10 Ideas to Fix Democracy
Foreign Policy asked leading thinkers for their best (and sometimes uncomfortable) advice.
Democracy is on the defensive, and the reasons are as deep as they are familiar. Growing inequality has fed a global mood that democratic institutions aren’t serving their citizens. The internet and social media have hypercharged political polarization and cultural divides, which populists easily exploit. Mass immigration and rapid demographic shifts have empowered extremists. Around the world, authoritarian regimes have seized the West’s weakness as an opportunity to expand their influence. Autocrats are winning admirers in the West, too: In an ever more complex world facing generational threats—from pandemics to climate change—the speed and totality with which autocracies can implement decisions has some wondering if messy, deliberative, compromise-seeking democracy can still do the job. In a June 2021 poll, a slight majority of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 had a favorable view of socialism, suggesting that younger generations in Western democracies are increasingly open to alternative systems of governance."

It appears the global economy depends on the principles and ideals of a democratic led influence:

Democratization of a country from a non-democratic regime is usually preceded by a fall in GDP, and a volatile but expected growth in the long run. On the other hand, authoritarian regimes experience significant growth at the beginning and decline in the long run.[4] The cause of such behavior is that non-democratic regimes, mainly authoritarian ones, are more effective at implementing decisive policies and choices as well as solving ethnic and sub-national conflicts, but are unsustainable in the long run as there is more incentive to extract money from society which in turn leads to less prosperity.[5] Democratic regimes revolve around institutions and policies which lay the foundations, through which principles of liberty and equality are designed and followed, thus directly or indirectly affecting firms or individuals who benefit from the directives and increase their growth, which in turn has a positive impact on economy.[6]

The positive changes of democracy to economic growth such as delegation of authority and regulations of social conflicts heavily outweigh the negative and restrictive effects, especially when compared to autocracy. One of the main reasons for this is that society, i.e. voters are able to support difficult trade offs and changes when there is no perceived alternative. This is primarily true in countries with a higher level of education. So it ties the development level of a country as one of the decisive factors to undergo positive democratic changes and reforms. Thus, countries that embark in democratization at higher levels of education are more likely than not to continue their development under democracy.[7]"

Evidence suggests un-American and seditious repukes are a threat to the national and global economies:

January 6th isn't going to be a big player come this election day, and what impact it plays could be determined on what the Committee delivers in it's hearings and final report. Combined with the Court's ruling on abortion and guns due this June combined the base will be motivated, but the Democrats are facing historical, demographic, and economic hurdles too difficult to overcome, at least with the House election

However, come 2024, if Trump does succeed in becoming the GOP nominee, and there is not reason now why he wouldn't, January 6th will become an issue

Trump should have been arrested for Jan 6 long ago

Yes we know elections that don't go your way are a threat to democracy.

We're going to give you a democracy suppository in November, the only way you can win is to cheat again but this time it will be so obvious even establishment RINOs will have to take notice.

If Republicans take one or both houses of Congress, and if Trump or another Trump-inspired Republican runs for president in 2024, Koppelman added, “there may be no stopping the tide.” These true believers will see to it that the Republican nominee is declared the winner — even if it takes a coup to do so. (Let’s face it: We saw that very thing attempted on Jan. 6 last year when a violent mob stormed the Capitol and demanded the election results be reversed.)

Democracy died on January 6th because they certified the fraudulent, unconstitutional, and illegitimate election of the authoritarian Biden junta which rules through mass censorship, state terror, and the taking of hundreds of political prisoners who are tortured until they confess.

DON'T NEED IT; WE WILL STOMP YOUR ASSES THIS NOVEMBER, AT THE BALLOT BOX....FOR STARTERS.


NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT JAN 06, EXCEPT YOU AND YOUR FELLOW BASEMENT DWELLING FUNGI.

their biggest fear is that people will be watching the election process more closely from here on......

I wonder if people will vote based on the economy this midterm.......I wonder if that's ever happened before.

Nah, heard that chant many times before, usually coming from the right, live long enough, seen it all, the pendulum swings both ways. Then again, myself, family, and relatives all have dual citizenship, so I have the option of booking

You jackasses never follow through with that promise to leave. It follows a pattern starting with obama: promise to fix a bunch of shit that the GOP allegedly fucked up, don't "fix" it (because it never was a problem anyway), and blame the GOP for their inability to fix it, and threaten to leave. But you never do.
You wanna book? Here's some help: https://www.booking.com/

The framers baked the demise of our democracy into the cake with their inadequate constitution.

Everything the crackers are doing to destroy it has the blessing of constitutional language.

Why are people so reluctant to acknowledge this?

Are they simply too cowardly to face the truth? Are they blinded by "true believerism?"
