Our democracy is dying and there doesn’t seem to be a desire to heal it. When our state capitols are breached, Governor’s nearly kidnapped, and pundits predict a second acquittal for our former president, things are not okay.

Perhaps effective democracy can not coexist with unchecked attacks.

Perhaps unchecked capitalism is antithetical to our democratic values.
