Democracy's decline spurs call for party duty in Wisconsin
The Madison Patriot argues that the Democratic Party's internal failings have driven it from unity. It recalls 4 years ago when Dems stood united to crush the common enemy, then laments a shift to a fractured, decayed opposition. It blames dull edge tools, pilfering shavers, and unprincipled factionalism for the party's fall from a large Wisconsin majority to a considerable minority.
