Saving Democracy: The 2016 Presidential Election: An American Watershed

By R. Passi

In Saving Democracy, R.W. Passi provides a set of new perspectives on the American political scene and how it devolved into a system that led to the debacle of the 2016 Presidential Election.With his unshakable belief in democracy and in the resilience and creativity of the ordinary American citizen, he charts a course back to a sustainable and humane democracy.The book is about how to break the spell of neoliberal economics that has hollowed out this nation and robbed America of its heart and soul replacing them with a harsh kind of economic necessity by monetizing everything American. The book provides a roadmap back to a sustainable and humanized America again, fueled by a renewed American Spirit and leading back to the American Dream.It is a book full of hope and positive alternatives, turning away from mere anger, frustration and resistance to the existing system, by offering a path back to a renewed America by saving democracy and rebuilding the American Heritage by working outside the existing system and eventually depriving it of its support, allowing it to crumble into obscurity.The book points out the futility of trying to create enough change within the system by working on specific issues which fragment the opposition into too many parts. Passi points out that the problem is a systems problem and not an issues problem, requiring a new system to resolve the issues. That new system is really a return to an old tried and true system of an American Democracy.It is a book about finding a way to unify the nation under a single banner of democracy, understanding that only in that way will we find solutions to the many issues the plague the nation and prevent progress. It is about abandoning an entrenched system built to prevent change and building an alternate system representing a more American solution to problems.Praise for Saving Democracy"R. W.
