CNN’s Christiane Amanpour recently interviewed former President Barack Obama for an hour-long special that aired Thursday night that carried the pretentious subtitle Will Democracy Win? CNN was not subtle in trying to portray Republicans as a threat to democracy, beyond the subtitle, the opening narrator hyped the location of the interview, “An in depth conversation on the state of American democracy from the birthplace of democracy, Athens, Greece.”
Early on in the interview, Obama described U.S. institutions as “creaky” from the strain of allegedly anti-democratic sentiment. Amanpour took that idea and ran with it, “So, let's ask about the creaky or not institutions in the United States.

Anytime you hear the phrase " a threat to democracy" take a hard look at the source.

Osama/Obama was the worst President we have ever elected and the consequences continue to destroy America. I wish there was proof of his involvement in the Biden schemes so we could impeach and rid ourselves of this hateful family.

"threat to democracy" is a dog whistle of the left. Phrase quickly became tired and trite, but the left still hurls it because they have no argument otherwise.
The sound of Amanpour's voice is one of the most annoying in television. She alone is a good reason to not contribute to your local PBS station.

Was it Mr. Symbolism over Substance who suggested the interview be done in Greece? I imagine the ever pretentious B.O. clasped his hands, and was very sincere in his concern for "our democracy," he hesitates, looks thoughtful, as he stuttered, just a little, before he makes his profound statement. I'm sure he offers some instances as "proof" and that his insightful, observations are worthy of his superior intellect. He no longer worries, he's still the smartest man he knows, and because of this interview, in Athens, the birthplace of Democracy, the world is reminded of the glorious days of his reign. They yearn for his return to save us all.
Just about everything really bad started with him. The stupid, cheating, drug taking, faker who was raised as a Communist and "taught" Alinsky. The guy who subverted Democracy by fixing every race he ever ran. He's underhanded and dirty traitor who participated (gleefully I am sure) in the greatest crime ever committed in the United States since its founding.

So the Kenyan thinks MAGA is a "threat to democracy." Apparently he hasn't read a newpaper in the past two years.

So, if Republicans are elected in the democratic process, then democracy is threatened? For real? What is wrong with her brain?

I just read that Obama is meeting Progressive/Communist young members of Congress like AOC and telling them what to do and how to act. That seems to me to be against Democracy.

#8 what is wrong with her brain is that insanity has become contagious, all conservatives possess natural immunity; Liberals however, are carriers, and highly susceptible to the contagion.

Two people born in foreign countries lecturing real American citizens on what's right according to them. Christiane, you've lived a long prosperous life away from Islamic law... don't ruin it now.

They never define the terms. Then, they don't talk about the relevance to our Constitutional Republic.
They're what we call 'b-s artists".

If you take the time to read the great Greek and Roman thinkers, Plato among others, you will find that slavery was an accepted part of their culture and Republic. Astounding, as most of us accept the common assumption that it was invented and still practiced freely in the USA.

The word "democracy" is not mentioned in The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, etc. Thomas Jefferson mentions it. He was a big advocate of democracy. Excepts for his slaves. Somebody has to pick that cotton. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

Amanpour needs deporting back to the UK. I mean seriously, if she doesn't like it here then she needs to go home. Iran or the UK, makes no difference. Just get your America hatred out of here.
