The word “DEMOCRACY” was emblazoned in all-capital letters on the back wall of the stage at the Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday, a seeming reminder of what is at stake in the 2024 election. Yet during two hours of bickering and disagreement among the eight participating candidates, the topic was never seriously addressed.

Perhaps it is no surprise that the party led by Trump and those allied with it are uneasy about discussing the issue. Neither the debate host, Fox News nor most of the candidates on the stage, who are loath to offend Trump loyalists, had any appetite to dig into what had happened in 2020 and what it may mean for the future of the country.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis put it this way: “This election is not about January 6th of 2021. It’s about January 20th of 2025, when the next president is going to take office. I know what the Democrats would like to do. They want to talk about all these other issues, but we have got to focus on your future.”

Question.

Venezuela, Cuba, and N. Korea all hold elections in which the public can vote. Are they "democracies?"

Not when they are elections in name only. That has not been the case in this country, which for 250 years led the world in democracy. Now, and since the 2020 Presidential election Republicans have followed the lead of a single citizen in trying to undo American democracy. Democrats are leading the way in stopping them.
