We are losing the democracy that we're trying to sell in the Mideast and everywhere else right here in our own nation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
American democracy is spoiled by people buying everything in sight and then selling and buying everything in sight, including our politicians.
American democracy in the past has always been known for its large middle class and its relatively few very wealthy people and very few very poor people, but that is gone to today and the middle class is shrinking.
I am not alone in thinking that we are at a tipping point ecologically and morally and politically. Democracy cannot survive without a vibrant middle class, yet the policies of one of the parties has been committed to wiping it out for 30 years.
Democracy no longer means what it was meant to. It has been taken back into the workshop. Each of its institutions has been hollowed out, and it has been returned to us as a vehicle for the free market, of the corporations. For the corporations, by the corporations.
I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.
Based on what our country stands for. We can't fail to stand for democracy.
People in so many countries look up to the United States as a model of democracy, but I doubt if that can continue. It leaves me with a great sense of loss.
The last two elections were stolen. They were stolen and so we will not rest until we reclaim our democracy and this is what today is all about.
We will not lose this election for lack of money.
It's not a democracy here, it's the Middle East.
