She's describing the Biden, Pelosi, DNC power grab

At this point I believe democracy is just about dead in large parts of this country on the alter of white supremacy. If I could influence my child I would tell him to emigrate from this hell hole of lies. Democracy was never intended for black people to participate in.

Maybe if published who is paying for this, for how long are they paying for it and why... ... and published it each day for ten solid years... ... Like the Right wing does. We might get somewhere

If you consider how corrupt mainstream media has destroyed democracy.... We should be hearing 'Last call for alcohol' about now. realjournalismisdead

Yep. The left is trying to make the soviet states of America. Democracy is already dead to democrats.

These truths are self-evident: the GOP represents a Fascist threat to America; the GOP has been taken over by Neo-Nazi & KKK Fascists; the GOP is compromised by corrupt corporations; Mussolini defined Fascism as; 'the merger of corporations with the State'

CheriJacobus I think the VP Harris employees leaving is a big tell with how democracy is going. They don't want to be around when the backlash comes.

froomkin No. It was much closer to midnight when Donald Trump was the most powerful man in the world.

1 minute = 11 months

The US is like a patient with arsenic poisoning. We know what the poison is and how it operates, In the long run we need to know if the poison was deliberately administered and by who, but the priority must be to save the patient

RonBrownstein And she’s been around for a very long time.

FYI - the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government don't represent a majority of Americans. We already don't have democracy in this country. (P.S. Still true even if you only count white voters like the MSM likes to do)

For many people, 'democracy' = 'managed democracy', like Asian countries are supposed to have. I think the popular spirit of equality and equanimity is strong today, which is a different definition.

media is here to influence us on behalf of corporate / political elite journalismIsDead

Folks are not appropriately terrified of the prospect. Can we imagine our country run according to the esoteric ambitions of a Mitch McConnell ,Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott or perhaps a Ron DeSantis type. Imagination is what we need.

Brian Williams: 'Before I go, help me scare our audience again, Doris.'

Maybe don't have a big smile on her face in your tweet of this, MSNBC.

hey_leia cuz any nation founded by white supremacists for the benefit of white supremacists is not a democracy

Doris Kearns Goodwin has completely lost her mind and memory. For a historian what a horrendous misread.

So sad!

We're in the 11th hour. Duh.

The future looks bleak mainly because of the GOP. GOPDeathCult

Plagerist.

Hey,I government seen Ms.Doris in ages!

Well to be fair she wasn't alive during the civil war

Dems are just not up to the job

China's communists bash US democracy before Biden summit | AP NewsBEIJING (AP) — China's Communist Party took American democracy to task on Saturday, sharply criticizing a global democracy summit being hosted by President Joe Biden next week and extolling the virtues of its governing system. America has too much domestic tyranny to preach the world about freedom or democracy. That’s the truth. It’s not anti-American to admit it either. We all know it’s the truth but very few are actually willing to admit it. 🖕🖕🖕 Just want to say a very big thank you to Mrs lisamiaBTC and her company platform for their transparency, I had doubts at first but seeing I got paid I deemed it necessary to share with the general public and to let them know that you can be truly trusted..thank you so much.
