URGENT UPDATE: Richard Brusca’s latest commentary emphasizes that despite growing concerns, American democracy is not dead. With the Nov. 4, 2025 election approaching, Brusca urges citizens to embrace the democratic process and vote for leaders who champion democracy.
Many Americans are experiencing anxiety about the future of democracy in the United States. However, Brusca reminds us that this democratic experiment is only 250 years old, a mere fraction compared to the ancient cultures that have endured for thousands of years, such as the Maya and the Aboriginal Australians. He highlights that, historically, America has faced numerous anti-democratic movements, yet has managed to overcome them, including the significant challenges posed by the Civil War.
The upcoming midterm elections present a crucial opportunity for Americans to reaffirm their commitment to democratic principles. Brusca points out that a large percentage of the population still believes in the core tenets of democracy. “Most Americans still believe in democracy,” he states, encouraging voters to turn out and support candidates dedicated to serving the public rather than personal interests.
Brusca asserts that many politicians remain committed to helping all citizens achieve their dreams, advocating for renewable energy, universal healthcare, and equitable taxation. He emphasizes the importance of supporting elected officials who view their roles as public service, aiming to promote equality and justice for all Americans, regardless of their background.
To preserve democracy, Brusca calls on citizens to actively participate in every election. He highlights the cultural vibrancy of the nation, with Americans continuing to produce exceptional music, art, and literature, despite challenges such as censorship in some states.
As the nation approaches critical elections, the message is clear: engage, vote, and support those who uphold the values of democracy. The future of American democracy hinges on the collective action of its citizens, and every vote counts.
