“I’m increasing skeptical about the idea that Democracy, as we know it, can work in a world of stagnant growth.” Every time politicians say they can't make things better, people’s faith in democracy goes down, says The Times's @J_amesMarriott. @HugoRifkind | #TimesRadio

Today was a major step forward for bipartisanship to bring down the cost of healthcare in the United States of America. When we work together in good faith, we can get things done to make people’s lives better. The work continues. Let’s go.

The work of building a democracy of possibility, a democracy worthy of our dreams, starts with opening the school doors of opportunity for all. The Little Rock 9 knows that work in their core. I know America can do it.

"There's nothing more important than democracy!" say politicians. Not true, says Timothy Sandefur of Goldwater Institute. "There's nothing more important than liberty. The Constitution exists to protect us against democracy." In our full interview we talk about that, and more.

Sanders: You know why Trump has a nucleus of support? People say, “I go out and I vote every two years. You tell me to vote every four years. So what? I’m going nowhere. Democracy is not working. You know what I need? I need a strong guy. I don’t give a damn about the Constitution, the rule of law. Give me some guy who’s going to crack some heads.” It’s not just in this country. You’re seeing this all over the world. So what we have got to do is make democracy work for working people. If tomorrow, God willing, we passed a Medicare for All single-payer system so everybody in this country could get quality health care, people would say, “Huh, you know what? Democracy, that ain’t a bad idea.” “I just took my kid to the doctor. We had an operation. It didn’t cost me. That’s pretty good. And you know what? My kid is going to college now, a really good school, and it’s tuition-free. I like democracy.” So democracy is more than just having elections every two or four years. It is delivering for the people. And the problem that we’re having right now is that because the oligarchs increasingly control our democracy, democracy can’t deliver.

Trump is now literally bulldozing our democracy. The people’s house is being destroyed. I had a few things to say on my Substack today. I know I’m not alone in my disgust. #WhiteHouse

Louis Mosley says politicians are “stoking fears” to argue Palantir’s NHS business contract shouldn’t be extended. “It boils down to two objections that they have to us. One is the fact that we work in America, specifically for the Trump administration. And the second is that we work in Israel.” Hugo Rifkind

Democracy vs. Constitutional Republic "The word "democracy" appears ZERO times in the Constitution. It also does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, nor does it appear in any of the Constitutions of the 50 states." Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution mandates: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government", therefore explicitly establishing America as a Republic, NOT a democracy. So the democrats are LYING when they call America a "democracy." Democracy = mob rule = tyranny. That's EXACTLY what they want, which is likely why they use the word repeatedly. Why aren't we taught about this?

RFK Jr: The Democrats Are Destroying Democracy to Save it from Donald Trump That’s “not a good look,” he says. In fact, “It’s a PARADOX.” Kennedy went as far as to say, “The Democratic Party today is all about the OPPOSITE” of democracy. “They’re suing us in all the states,” Kennedy added, highlighting the extent of the Democratic Party’s efforts to block his candidacy. They make sure “that candidates who are going to run against their chosen candidate, that the legal system, that the law enforcement agencies are used to prevent those candidates from running.” “They’re saying, ‘Well, we have to do this in order to save democracy from Donald Trump.’ The real argument is we’re destroying democracy in order to save it. It’s a paradox.”

🚨🚨🚨"Democracy" is a Psyop!!! "You ask a hundred people on the street, what kind of government is America supposed to be? 99% of them will tell you, a democracy. America is supposed to be a democracy. But THAT'S A LIE. That's an illusion. The word democracy is not written into the Constitution at one time. It's not in the Bill of Rights. It's not in the Declaration of Independence. The founding fathers hated the idea of a democracy. They thought it was the worst form of government there is. And I agree with them, because in a democracy, 51% of the people control 49% of the people. If you're part of the 49%, you're not free. America was founded as a constitutional republic, and in that constitutional republic that we have, 99% of the people can't take away the rights of 1%. You have your rights because you were born with them. You have God given human rights that nobody can take away from you—the government, the majority, no matter who they are. I can't take away your rights. And that's what our founding fathers gave us. But the psychological operations that they do to us, they make us believe that we're a democracy and that majority rules, you see? And they want you to believe that."

Democracy is a luxury only developed countries can afford. Any nation that still has lots of developmental work to do will remain poor as long as it still employs constitutions, “good governance”, “checks and balances” and other rich people’s bs of that nature. No country has ever developed by unleashing democracy on its economy and none ever will. Every country that has ever made it economically started by suspending or ignoring democracy and by weaponising what they now call “corruption”. It may not be pretty, but it’s the only way. Of course, it’s not guaranteed that authoritarian developmentalism will work, a lot can go horribly wrong. But democracy will most definitely not work. Yes, it might keep the status quo humming along, but that’s it. In short, authoritarianism is a gamble and democracy is a guarantee—of mediocrity. Just look at South Africa. Duma Boko is finding out this crucial fact of life in real time.

JUST IN: Kamala Harris goes on very confusing rant, repeats herself multiple times while talking about “democracy.” Not a good look when everyone on X is calling you a drunk. Kamala, who didn’t get any votes in the Democrat primary, was lecturing a Pennsylvania crowd about “democracy.” “And that's what our election is about. Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy.” “As a democracy, we know there's a duality to the nature of democracy. On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact. What it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, and their freedom, incredibly strong and incredibly fragile.”
