Former U.S. President Barack Obama, who has mostly stayed quiet in the weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris' election loss, on Thursday urged a new generation of American leaders to talk with people they disagree with.
In a speech at a "Democracy Forum" sponsored by his foundation, the former president said he was convinced that a renewed commitment to pluralist principles was essential to ensure the survival of democracy.
"The alternative is what we've seen here in the United States and in many democracies around the globe - not just more gridlock, not just public cynicism, but an increased willingness on the part of politicians and their followers to violate democratic norms, to do anything they can to get their way."
Obama discussed the "power of pluralism" with thousands of live and online attendees at a deeply divided time in U.S. history and an unsettling one for Democrats as Republican Donald Trump returns to the White House.
Comment:
Whenever radical left politicians such as Barry Obama uses the word "democracy" it actually means a one-party totalitarian police state where they can do whatever they want and censor and arrest their opponents.
This is why Obama fears Trump.
Trump is going to disassemble the corrupt Democrat Party's politization of our federal government agencies.
This is why the Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court with anti-constitution judges who would protect the Democrat Party's power and not protect the citizens from a rogue political party.
