> You can’t have a functional democracy when a majority of the population has decided that democracy isn’t working, or isn’t even desirable. Forcing people to care about democracy is itself anti-democratic. So what happens to those of us who like democracy, but also think it’s failing, despite our best efforts to save it?

I’ve felt like this for more than two decades, now.

At least there is some glimmer of hope on the horizon, brought to us by @JohnT in another thread:

> Biden up 6 in WI according to latest Quinnipiac poll. Even more interesting, he is up in every age bracket and leads among independents, women, white people (in general) and non-white people. Only didn’t lead in the male category (and among Rs, of course). [[Imgur] ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/53707854126/)

At least for 2024.
