律师、哈佛大学教授、马萨诸塞州前州长德瓦尔·帕特里克说，美国的民主只有在充满善意之后才会变得伟大。帕特里克自称为爱国者，他坚信使美国独一无二的基本价值观和公民理想，并概述了美国是如何偏离这些政令的。帕特里克呼吁一种摆脱愤世嫉俗和宿命论的集体爱国主义，他强调了重塑国家抱负以拯救民主的紧迫性。

The promise of American democracy hinges on living up to its founding ideals of equality, opportunity, and justice for all. From a childhood in a crowded South Side Chicago tenement to debates over sheltering refugee children, the talk reveals how divisions and cynicism threaten the nation's core values. Acts of compassion and civic courage, often whispered instead of shouted, have defined the country's greatness more than symbols or ceremony. Reviving democracy requires collective action, kindness, and a renewed focus on social and economic justice.

America Cannot Be Great Without Also Being Good
