What happened
After the US midterm elections, a Guardian piece asks what Democrats should do next after their sweeping victory. The writer argues the party cannot simply move past the moment and should keep pressing President Donald Trump over his conduct, rather than carry forward the culture of political impunity that produced the situation.
Why it matters
The writer says the stakes include whether accountability survives a win that could split Democrats between everyday concerns and continued confrontation.
