.DeanObeidallah: Ted Cruz thinks a bill to protect elections is 'bad for democracy,' somehow.
Conceding a loss fosters confidence in our democracy. Yet an overwhelming majority of Republican voters reject the idea of their losing candidates conceding.as part of the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said, “I worry about Trump, because Trump has proven that democracy is now partisan, which is remarkable.”
Three days later, Cruz confirmed the accuracy of Newsom’s remarks when he said that a plan to protect our democracy is “about Donald J. Trump.”in Philadelphia outside Independence Hall, where the U.S. Constitution was debated and adopted: “Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated. And that’s where MAGA Republicans are today.
We find ourselves at a similar existential battle — though thankfully not by way of a bloody civil war. But this republic cannot “long endure” when one of the two major parties is more concerned with defending one person and promoting his election lies than with protecting our democracy. Lincoln closed his Gettysburg Address with the hope"that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth." Ironically, it’s via Lincoln’s own party that we might see such a government perish, just so that party can appease Donald Trump.
