What are the main challenges facing democracy today?
The suppression of third parties in the this country, by the government, the two parties, the media and pollsters. The Libertarian Party was on the ballot in all 50 States but were denied to be on stage in the Presidential debates…. The people who make the rules are a panel made up of Democrats and Republicans. The pollsters will not register if someone mentions a third party candidate. They put it in a category as other…. In New Jersey third parties are not allowed to have column A or B on the ballot and instead are given a line less favorable on the ballot and lumped together with other third parties. The lazy media is fixated on the two parties, it is too much work for them to investigate…. It is time for diversity in politics.

What are the main challenges facing democracy today?
The very rich are taking far more than their “share” just because they can. This leaves the have-nots enraged and ready to fight for their “share.” Their schools, healthcare, jobs, and infrastructure are often terrible. What choice will they have but to fight in the end?

What are the main challenges facing democracy today?
As a proud granddaughter of Eastern European immigrants, I am extremely thankful for all of the advantages available to me as an American citizen. However, our democracy is facing a major challenge from the far right, extremely conservative factions of our society who see violence and threats of violence as acceptable methods to accomplish their goals. When we have almost limitless opportunities to express our opinions, there is no excuse for this type of uncivilized, unethical and dangerous behavior.
