    US democracy is flawed but still stronger than most BRICS countries. Maybe all of them.

    There are many shades of gray on the slide to authoritarianism.

    This headline is strange. It doesn’t seem to be a quote that I can find, and none of the proposed policies really would involve more global democracy. They are mostly aimed at increasing the influence of BRICS countries at the expense of the US and its allies.

    Giving more of the world’s population a greater say in global governance and decision-making is a great idea. But unfortunately there really is no one trying to push for such a thing currently.
