We are absolutely in trouble. We have horribly uninformed or misinformed voters that are being guided by the elected officials and their media of choice on the issues. We have extremely low turnout and engagement among the electorate. We have seen a reduction in democratic principles from our government in recent years. We are seeing strong evidence of potential undue influence in what is supposed to be the non-political branch. We have politicians choosing their constituents rather than voters choosing their politicians.
There is a lot going on that is a concern as someone that favors liberal democratic principles. I again point to the two quotes in my signature.
