Fundamentally, democracy requires a populace that's interested in discerning truth from fiction and advancing the well-being of themselves and others in order to function. About 30% of the US population has completely ceded their mental faculties to the GOP, and the GOP has built up a gigantic propaganda apparatus to keep their followers stupid and servile.
You simply can't make democracy work in America without fixing that problem, and the methods required to fix that problem are, in themselves, incredibly undemocratic.

@Heartlander The only thing all of those sources have in common is that they don't lie to their viewers to protect the GOP. To you guys, that's all it takes to be labeled propaganda. Basically all media in the US has propagandistic elements as a consequence of being owned by oligarchs and subject to access journalism, but to even refer to these things by the same term borders on the fallacy of equivocation.
