sweeney the democratic party to win back one of the houses of congress -- so we need -- and that will do a lot. i think more broadly if you look at the 2016th election, one way of understanding was as a competition between radical and modern politics of status quo. what you saw under the circumstances some people, a lot of people away to go see policy change. you conclude all americans, or at least 50% or 47%, i don't think that's right conclusion. the right conclusion is a really want to change and want promise of a better system. so what you have to do if you want a more moderate policies did succeed is to shout can be delivered in this speaks to the question of causes. people don't feel like the government is to living for them because it's not. you could have solutions to that, but that would actually work and i think not just in the united states but also in the north european countries that's what modern parties need to do. but in the meanwhile there's a lot individuals can do. i know the question was how democracies die, the question was -- there's a very good book name is demo
