Can't imagine why the world is losing faith in democracy. America has done it so well. Ok, there was the slavery thing. And that time we stole most of the country from the people who lived there and sent them to die on reservations that were often just patches of desert. Not to mention the gilded age being built on exploitation of immigrants who had come for a better life. Or all those times we undermined other democratic governments to protect our business interests. The wars in Vietnam and Iraq. And now a dysfunctional political system combined with growing income inequality that threatens to split the nation. Yup, America is a great example of how Democracy works out for everybody.
