Democracy is lost too. Here is how it is happening in our country:
Washington became polarized… and dysfunctional for too many citizens.
A candidate for president happened upon some of these underserved people.
His constant rallies appealed to them, and they became his loyal “base” of supporters.
He surprised even himself and was elected president… gradually his party won many state elections.
These states then changed their voting districts to make it easier for their candidates to win elections.
They eventually passed laws to make it difficult for their opponents to vote.
They also passed laws so that if they lost an election, they would be able to claim fraud and change votes.
This is how the right to vote can be lost for too many… and along with it, our precious democracy.

Good analysis. The challenge is what can be done to counter it. Biden needs to make a strong push for the right to vote.
