Is it true that democracy in the U.S. is near its demise?

Not as long as there are people who love their freedom enough to fight for it!!

democracy was never present in the US, and most politicians and people with power want to keep it that way at all costs, including blowing up parts of the world and inciting the murder of millions of people

What ocracy? Dem cheeks are near demise, and dat forehead too.

Yes, and when Putin becomes more than the man of the year, and emperor of the entire world, there will truly be liberty and justice for all, for realz. NO YOU DULLARD!

Democracy is a messy business. Always has been, always will be. That's how you know it is alive and flourishing.

it has been near since bill Clinton got elected . Been going down hill ever since !!! Might as well make Rush limba president !!!

if you call inflation a demise

Democracy as it was intended has already left us....

yes but not just in the us ,it will be very important who you vote for another republican may douse the flame completely

It well could be. Ask us again after this election. If the Republicans are allowed to steal another one, or if Bush just calls it off altogether, then you'll know.
