“Voters overwhelmingly believe American democracy is under threat, but seem remarkably apathetic about that danger, with few calling it the nation’s most pressing problem, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll.

The authoritarian threats that many democracies are facing across the globe are becoming increasingly dire as the 21 Century progresses. Nations such as China are doubling down on their anti-democratic stances and view democracies as muddles pools of indecision and weakness. If democracies are to survive into the next century then people who value choice and freedom must step up to the plate and defend them at every level.
