Perhaps, but like I said, they&#x27;re extremely jaded people. Nobody in politics has a rose-colored view of democracy, thinking it&#x27;s a perfect form of governance.  But at the same time, you can see the value it has and you can actually see change occur.  Democracy isn&#x27;t broken because getting involved actually has a tremendous affect on the inner workings of politics.  Telling people democracy is broken actually works to break it, because people stay home and don&#x27;t get involved, which is the lifeblood of democracy.
