Poll: Only 16% of Americans say US democracy is working

[Anonymous]

Most Americans are feeling pessimistic about the state of democracy in their country, according to a new poll conducted by the Associated Press.



Only 16% of Americans surveyed said that democracy is working well or extremely well in the United States, a sentiment shared by individuals of all political persuasions. Almost half of Americans, 45%, think that democracy isn't functioning properly. A little more than a third, 38%, say democracy is working only somewhat well.



Both political parties have criticized the electoral system in America when it was politically convenient to do so. Perhaps that's why so many Americans have doubts about their democracy.

I can't say that I'm surprised.

There is a problem with our democracy too.

The North American system is set up to serve globalist prog money.

An example of how messed up Canadian democracy is. Would the people agree to this in a referendum?

People should be allowed to take their CPP contributions and invest it in something that provides a real return.

I can't say that I'm surprised.

People have been led to believe that America is a democracy outside of democratic elections and their representatives. It's not and that's the disconnect.

Ottawa should follow the lead of countries like Sweden that have partially privatized their national pension plan. At the very east, contributors should be allowed to choose where to invest their savings as Singapore and Australia do.

There's no real choice here. They give you a variety of set options in each superannuation fund. Your money is gambled with.

A person can work and contribute to the Canada Pension Plan(CPP) for forty seven years and receive nine hundred dollars(or less) per month at age sixty five.

Which is still better than our CPP.

It would have few investors if it was voluntary.
