“A republic — if you can keep it.”

If you haven’t yet voted and are able to do so, make sure you vote tomorrow. Vote for the Democrats. So much, truly, is at stake.

Systemic problems plague our systems, and the Democrats are not immune to those problems, but the distinctions — from equality and justice down to the belief in democracy itself — hang heavily in the air. To keep going, we must keep pushing.
And, to top it all off, we’ve gotten a simple lesson today: When the richest man in the world is buying huge communications platforms, threatening his opponents, and telling you who to vote for — run the other direction.
