"I would only say that cynicism about democracy probably will not help fix what is so very broken here. The idea that we never were and never can be anything more than a white-male-plutocrat ethnocracy, that the game is rigged against everyone else, does not encourage the fight for democracy that we need here."

~ Ibid.
