We Are on Our Own [View all]
Democracy Docket

December 22, 2024
Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.
So, this week I am just going to say it out loud: we are on our own.
I realize this raises as many questions as it answers.
Who are the "we?"
Where, exactly, are the "we?"
And what do I mean by "on our own?"
Let me unpack them in order.
The "we" is the easy part.
It includes all of us who care about democracy, rule of law and free and fair elections.
It is not a small group.
It includes tens of millions who voted for Kamala Harris and millions more who did not.
That includes millions who did not vote as well as many who voted for Trump because they feel like the government is failing them, and Trump seemed like change from the broken status quo.
