Democracy contains the seeds of its own destruction, says On The Media’s Brooke Gladstone

Especially after this weekend, when Republicans rushed their grab bag of a tax bill through the Senate with little consideration for its effect on the country’s most vulnerable, it can feel as if American democracy is failing.

As On The Media’s Brooke Gladstone tells us, democracy is entirely dependent on the quality of the people who operate it, and we have to fight to protect it.
