First of all, let's dispel the narrative that this country was founded on democracy. It was founded on the backs of those who built it under the threat of rape, bondage and torture. Those people who built it, and those who lived here in the first place, had absolutely no say in its conception. Second, you can rant all you want about Trump and Russia and democracy, but the patients I see every day are not concerned with those issues apart from the fact they recognize that in a country in which elections are bought and sold democracy is merely an ideal. In our democracy we are getting sicker, living shorter lives, being abused and murdered by our own police, have the highest chance in the industrialized world of getting randomly gunned down, and constantly affecting the "democracies" of other countries by staging coups, bombing with impunity, and aligning with the worst of the war criminals (see Israel, Saudi Arabia etc) in favor of our economic interests. Even you Thom said that Biden had to chum up to MBS for his oil, merely because you want Democrats to win an election. In our democracy anything can be sacrificed to win an election, to the point of liberals becoming McCarthyists and shutting down anyone who does not embrace the notion of nuclear confrontation over the great "democracy" of Ukraine. Having no room in either party for peace or human dignity because that political party must be supported at all costs is hardly a democracy.
