The decline of American democracy won't be televised
Professor Huq, featured in the video, writes on Democratic Backsliding in the US and abroad in greater depth: This is how democratic backsliding begins What does it look like? Maybe a health care bill being crafted in total secrecy, rammed through without public hearings or scrutiny? Finally we get to see it- The Senate GOP health bill in one sentence: poor people pay more for worse insurance Plan is to pass it before the July 4 recess, so senators don't have to confront their constituents beforehand. Democratic backsliding, ftw.

Yeah. We have to be careful about fake news. That's why we read Think Progress, a Soros/Podesta advocacy rag. Seriously - you've got to stop smelling your own farts - read something not run by the balls first partisans.
You know, like CNN. Yesterday they had a great piece linking trump and the Russians. But then they deleted it. Now they're retracting it. But we know it's the truth....

By the way, do yourself a favour and look at the links on this site about Brexit, then come tell me there was no attempt to delegitimize it.
