In 2022, many state Republican parties are committed to tampering with state election processes - up to and including allowing gerrymandered state legislatures to over-rule popular votes for president if the majority votes in a different way than the legislature wants. 7/x — PolitiTweet.org

I am sure there were people writing in 1864, "Democracy is in danger. President Lincoln should invoke patriotism, not the patronage politics, to make that point." Lincoln knew otherwise. 6/x — PolitiTweet.org

American democracy was in grave danger in the summer of 1864. The military situation was grim. Inflation was devouring wages. The draft pressed hard. The Democratic platform offered the rebel South a negotiated peace. Lincoln's grip on his own party was loosening ... 1/x — PolitiTweet.org
