I have written before about the recent tendency of US Democrat Party members to act to subvert the idea of democracy in attempts to rile up citizens, cultivating and nurturing democracy in the process.

Congratulations to Chris Pappas on his Reelection … Sununu’s Supreme Court Draws (Of Course) Pappas-Friendly Map
