YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Joe Biden’s first “Summit for Democracy” will meet on December 9-10, 2021. The summit is billed as an opportunity for political leaders, the private sector, and civil society to renew democracy at home and confront autocracies abroad. The idea of democratic cooperation is appealing. But the Administration’s catastrophic failure in Afghanistan has thrown grave doubt on its willingness to do more than pay lip service to leadership. Nor can democracy at home be separated from respect for genuine pluralism, free speech, and the Constitution, on which American democracy is based.
