The word "democracy" is perhaps one of the most abused words of the 21st century, especially in recent years. Democrats often use the words "save democracy" but the translation of that is "save Democrats from losing power." 

Now, thanks to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, we have a "save democracy" subcategory, and it's to prevent Rep. Jamaal Bowman's Democrat challenger from unseating the fire alarm-pulling incumbent congressman: 

Oh great... we've been looking for another way to "save democracy" other than just reelecting Joe Biden.

Any election that doesn't turn out the way AOC wants is a "threat to democracy."

As usual, there's the expected "lack of self-awareness" element to this story: 

But "democracy" must be saved this time!

But that spending that helps the preferred Democrats is to "save democracy"! Otherwise the same spending on non-preferred candidates is a "grave threat to democracy." This stuff can get so confusing.
