If you were to go up to most Americans and ask them if they felt that more political debate was better for democracy versus one-sided, less political debate, most people would look at you strange for asking such a question. Of course most Americans, and most people in general, would agree with the former
I don’t believe that the Democrats and leftist believe that political debate that allows all sides to present their positions is truly a threat to “democracy.” They just fear losing their control and power
