Our democracy is not something to be taken for granted. You have to fight for it. You have to commit yourself to working for it - for the long haul.
Democracy is about voting and it's about a majority vote. And it's time that we started exercising the Democratic process.
I want to make democracy work not only for the rich and the well connected but for everyone.
Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.
There's not democracy in the workplace. I mean, through most of our daily lives, the idea of democracy is fairly nonexistent. And I think things work better when the people who have to work with whatever it is we're working with have a say in how it's working.
But I think we need to remember that democracy everywhere is by its nature incomplete, a work in progress.
Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.

Democracy involves that old-fashioned thing called working it out.
