This is important, I think. You hear cynicism about democracy on the left. Understandable bc the only democracy we know is bourgeois democracy: partial and compromised at best. But democracy isn't zero sum, on/off. A bit is better than none. You need some to get more. And we won what we have.

In all seriousness, convincing everyday Americans that democracy doesn't exist is a fascist move. We might not be a democracy now, but we have always had a national spirit of democracy.
