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.

Pretty much this.

The United States is in trouble for myriad reasons. None of which are contained in the OP. And seems to cling to American Exceptionalism and watch as we fall behind other developed countries in metrics that matter like income inequality, health care, child and maternal mortality and education.

With the division and culture war driven largely by one of our two major political parties, I don't see the atmosphere improving anytime soon.
