To make it hard, to make it difficult almost impossible for people to cast a vote is not in keeping with the democratic process.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Democracy is messy, and it's hard. It's never easy.
It seems to be impossible to hold a credible election without reforming the electoral system.
Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least.
Voting shouldn't be a challenge. It should be as easy and accessible as possible. We shouldn't require forms of ID that folks don't have. We shouldn't restrict days or hours that allow working people a chance to both do their job and exercise their democratic right, and we damn well shouldn't be throwing up new obstacles midstream.
From the standpoint of democratic legitimacy, it's a problem if half the electorate, or close to it, declines to vote, not least because they may not feel much of a stake in the whole process.
Democracy is about voting and it's about a majority vote. And it's time that we started exercising the Democratic process.
Sen. Clinton carried our district, and it is difficult to vote against your constituents.
Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.
It's difficult for democracy to function properly under the most favorable circumstances, but it has no chance at all when millions of voters are divorced from objective reality and incapable of understanding what is going on in Washington.
Very hard, very hard to represent a country, or carry out a policy that does not have consensus support.
