American democracy must be a failure because it places the supreme authority in the hands of the poorest and most ignorant part of the society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
Without an educated populace, democracy cannot sustain itself.
Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
American democracy is spoiled by people buying everything in sight and then selling and buying everything in sight, including our politicians.
Either we are all free, or we fail; democracy must belong to all of us.
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.
It's difficult for democracy to function properly under the most favorable circumstances, but it has no chance at all when millions of voters are divorced from objective reality and incapable of understanding what is going on in Washington.
Based on what our country stands for. We can't fail to stand for democracy.
Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
