To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Elections have consequences. So many people want to complain, but they don't want to vote. We can talk about Hillary Clinton. We can celebrate her; we can support her, but if we don't come out and vote for her, for shame.
I believe that people who do not vote in this country have no right to complain about the government that we are now living under. By the same token, if you don't really vote in television, you're never going to have your way. Write a letter to the president of the network.
I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work. Of course it doesn't work. We are supposed to work it.
Democracy actually requires that the whole public be able to see common problems and address them and step outside of their own sort of narrow self-interest to do so.
Just because a group does not take its decisions by voting does not mean they have no understanding of the essence of democracy.
If you can't put your values into your vote, we don't have a democracy.
In a democracy everybody has a right to be represented, including the jerks.
Anybody who asks for democracy to be introduced should respect the results of democracy.
Speak up! We live in a democracy. We all need to make sure our voices are heard and our opinions are known.
Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
