It seems you've come across a provocative article that challenges the notion of democracy being a bedrock of freedom and equality. The author's concern is understandable, but it might also be an instance where they're highlighting some uncomfortable truths about the current state of democracies worldwide.
Here are a few points to consider:
* **Disillusionment with existing systems**: Many people feel disillusioned with the way democracy functions in their countries. They may see issues like income inequality, corruption, and partisan politics as significant problems that undermine the principles of democracy.
* **Concerns about voter suppression and manipulation**: Some individuals worry about attempts to suppress or manipulate votes, which can erode trust in democratic processes. This might be a result of concerns around gerrymandering, voter ID laws, or other practices seen as undemocratic.
* **The influence of money in politics**: The presence of significant financial interests in politics can lead to a perception that democracy is being subverted by wealthy donors or special interest groups.
These are just some potential reasons why people might question the efficacy of democracy. It's not necessarily about having "little faith" in the concept but rather about acknowledging the challenges and imperfections within existing systems.
