Not saying you shouldn't be concerned. I mean the political and economic structures that hold real power in America, not to mention internationally, aren't some boogie man who controls everything, maaaaan *takes bong hit*, and destabilization of the American political system is definitely a very real threat atm.
BUT
If you're worried about democracy then there's deeper issues to concern yourself over than just the current CNN storyline. Like the entrenched bureaucracy of often unelected officials and non-governmental think tanks who facilitate the international capitalist system and the multinational corporations they serve.
