It seems there are a lot of threats to democracy these days. Barely an hour goes by without some news outlet, think-tank, talking head or politician warning us about the latest threat to democracy, and we’re told the biggest is Donald Trump. A recent item in USA Today wrote of widespread concern that “Donald Trump’s return to the White House could spell the end of American democracy.” But having Donald Trump on your Threat to Democracy Bingo Card is a gimme.

People who live in rural areas are a threat to democracy because they think immigrants should come to America legally rather than illegally. People who attend church are also a threat to democracy, as are people who believe that boys should use the boy’s locker room, Christian-Zionists, the Heritage Foundation, and military veterans. Who knew?
The tortured logic used to support these preposterous theories ignores the very real short-circuiting of democracy that’s happening right now among establishment Democrats and their party apparatus. They are denying the election results of the 2024 Democrat primary season and seeking to depose the presidential nominee chosen in that process.
President Joe Biden won his party’s primary sweepstakes going away. It’s normal to challenge the results of a close election but Biden won 3,904 convention delegates. Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips won five and a person named Jason Palmer won three. Second place went to ‘Uncommitted’ with 37 delegates.
There is no question that Joe Biden is the democratically elected presidential nominee of his party, and overwhelmingly so. Yet many of Biden’s fellow Democrats are denying this exercise in democracy and trying to remove him from his rightful position. They are not merely threatening the democracy of the primary system, they are actively destroying it, in real time, right before our eyes.
