It must be the holidays, because a lot of liberal media types are publishing end-of-year thumbsuckers on democracy. In the Atlantic, Peter Beinart writes that Americans are becoming more liberal; in the New Republic, David Dayen says no, they are not. And over at Vox, Roberto Foa and Yascha Mounk show with the World Values Survey that democracy is in trouble as Americans, and people all over the world, are losing faith in it.

Even a nominal conservative like Ross Douthat mourns the innocence of the liberal consensus. “[I]t’s been hard to imagine the basic liberal democratic capitalist order cracking up”, but now, who knows?

Stop Sucking Your Thumbs, Liberals, and Get a Clue

Liberals don't want to stop sucking their Thumbs. It's a reminder for their sucking something else.

Liberals are beyond help and cannot be reasoned with.

because some people are allowed to vote who shouldn't be allowed to, and they are creating a hellhole

[ChildOfThe60s]

People here (USA) don’t know the difference between a democracy and a republic. So they are destroying the republic. And those occupying ALL levels of government want democracy because it has allowed them to bribe the populace into serfdom.

Liberty has a price. It requires a desire to be responsible for one’s self and a willingness to accept the consequences of one’s actions. The majority of our population does not want to do that.

It was a grand and noble experiment. It’s just about run its course. Sad.

Given where they normally store their thumbs sucking on them is not a good idea.
