Every four years, millions of Americans wonder why they choose their presidents through the Electoral College, an arcane institution that permits the loser of the popular vote to become president and narrows campaigns to swing states. Most Americans have long preferred a national popular vote, and Congress has attempted on many occasions to alter or scuttle the Electoral College. Several of these efforts—one as recently as 1970—came very close to winning approval. Yet this controversial system remains as the team from the Network for Responsible Public Policy discusses.

        The Democracy for All Project

American democracy faces growing polarization and extremism, disinformation is sowing chaos and distrust of election results, and public discourse has become increasingly toxic. According to most rankings, America is no longer considered a full democracy. Many experts now believe American democracy is becoming more autocratic than democratic. What does the American public think of these developments? As Keith Melville and I have noted, existing research has little to say about the deeper causes of these trends and how they are experienced across partisan and cultural divides. The Democracy for All Project, a new partnership of the Kettering Foundation and Gallup Inc., is an annual survey and research initiative designed to address that gap by gaining a comprehensive understanding of how citizens are experiencing democracy and identifying opportunities to achieve a democracy that works for everyone.

        Voices Silenced, Democracy Betrayed
    
Carolyn  Goode
Dec 07, 2025
As our democracy dims and hypocrisy corrodes the very institutions meant to protect us — the Presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court — Americans across red, blue, and purple states are left betrayed, silenced, and desperate for leaders with the courage to be accountable.
When leaders break their oath, democracy itself is betrayed. They swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet bend their loyalty to a President. Congress claims oversight, yet shields allies like Steve Bannon by refusing to enforce subpoenas (Congressional oversight failures). The Supreme Court insists on neutrality, yet expands immunity in Trump v. United States. This is not democracy in action — it is political hypocrisy and a betrayal of trust.

In a Thanksgiving Day column in the New York Times, Lydia Polgreen wrote about her love of her father’s work across Africa to improve ordinary people’s lives. But Polgreen’s later work as a correspondent in Asia and Africa taught her “to be skeptical of her childhood convictions.
“I saw firsthand,” she continued, “how institutions of the kind my father worked for sometimes reinforced old hierarchies and systems of extraction and exploitation.”

        America Is Not a Place, It’s an Epic Road Trip

Despite its size, Afghanistan has only a single highway running through it. It’s called National Highway 1, or Ring Road, and I spent a little time on it myself years ago. It has no major intersections, not really. Just 1,400 miles of dusty road that cuts through mountains and across minefields to connect small towns and ancient cities.
Over many decades, America helped build and rebuild Ring Road to support free trade and free movement throughout the country.
