Vance hat doch mit jedem Wort recht. Deswegen heulen hierzulande auch alle auf. <\/p>\n

I believe that dismissing people, dismissing their concerns or worse yet, shutting down media, shutting down elections or shutting people out of the political process protects nothing. In fact, it is the most sure-fire way to destroy democracy. Speaking up and expressing opinions isn\u2019t election interference. Even when people express views outside your own country, and even when those people are very influential \u2014 and trust me, I say this with all humour \u2014 if American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg\u2019s scolding you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.<\/i><\/p>\n

But what no democracy, American, German or European will survive, is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief, are invalid or unworthy of even being considered.<\/i><\/p>\n

Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There is no room for firewalls.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
