Democracy by Proxy
The article argues that the election of candidates of Arab descent in the United States is due to institutions and a political environment that allow competition and equal opportunity—not to their ancestry alone. They represent their voters and their platforms, not their grandparents’ countries. It calls for treating these successes as a source of reflection and inspiration, rather than simply celebrating them, and for working to reform institutions, uphold the rule of law and equal citizenship, and promote competition based on merit and policy platforms. It concludes that democracy cannot be imported through applause; it must be built by creating systems in which talented people can succeed in their own countries.
