Neoliberalism broke democracy.
People are willing to vote for someone, anyone, who promises to make things better because they're tired of bootlicking milquetoast corporatists that'll give a tax break to a billionaire but will charge you user fees for breathing.
We need to vote for politicians that will actually improve things, instead of either rainbow-bench-painting wage-thieves or protofascist grifters.
Saying "broke" implies that liberal democracy previously worked, but now doesn't. I doubt that's what you meant. The two main camps are that it still works, albeit less, and that it never worked, and either there never was a democracy or the USSR was the real democracy.
From the viewpoint of America and Britain it worked.
Including black Americans?
Obviously their opinion mattered about as much as those of indigenous Canadians. That's why Jim Crow America was the Good Guy of World War 2, and not the Not As Bad Guy.
From my viewpoint it's the jedi that are evil!!
