Ex-Senator Jeremy McGuire calls for changes in democracy.

Former Senator Jeremy MacGyver wrote an article in The New York Times about the dangers of current democratic processes. He believes these processes are now a threat to democratic countries.

MacGyver argues that elections and referendums allow dangerous groups to gain power. He says these groups are harmful to a free world.

He believes a large portion of the population is not qualified to vote for president. He uses the example of people who voted for Donald Trump as evidence.

MacGyver thinks this type of democracy is weak and dangerous because everyone's vote counts the same. He wants changes to protect democracy from unqualified voters.

He says a functioning democracy needs filters to ensure only the right people are in power. He wants to focus on fixing these vulnerabilities after Kamala Harris wins to protect America from Trump-like figures.
