American democracy always needs work, always needs improvements and refinement, as liberals and Democrats we can look around and certainly see there’s still a long way to go. How does the evolution of American democracy over 234 years express the will of the little people? From that re-boot, compared to other forms of governmet we have done very well, how could one then describe the American little people as stupid? One can’t, as with so many human answers it’s muddled, contradictory and unclear, American little people are certainly not stupid but for liberals trying to safeguard the rights and happiness of us all there’s certainly reasons to be worried. That, ultimately, may be the best expression and effective use of democracy, and I’m confident the American little people are smart enough to keep using it.
