the reason i see us being in danger of losing our democracy is that there is evermore corruption in our public officials on both sides, the voters are often led by selfish motives instead of the good of the nation, and fraud at the voting booth denies the people of their true wishes. when morals decay, democracy cannot flourish. i see these problems on both sides of the political spectrum. the wrongs mentioned by Tal were overcome largely because of the ethics of the majority of the people...when the majority no longer has ethics, the democracy fails.
